The Salisbury Guide, written by James Easton in 1830, is a comprehensive guidebook that provides a detailed account of the history and antiquities of Old Sarum, as well as the origin and present state of New Sarum or Salisbury. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part providing a historical overview of Old Sarum, which was a prehistoric hill fort and later a Roman settlement. The author also discusses the Norman conquest of Old Sarum and the subsequent building of the cathedral and castle.The second part of the book focuses on the new city of Salisbury, which was established in the 13th century after the decline of Old Sarum. The author provides a detailed account of the city's layout, architecture, and notable landmarks, including the famous Salisbury Cathedral. The book also includes descriptions of the city's social and economic life, as well as its cultural and religious traditions.Overall, The Salisbury Guide is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Salisbury and the surrounding areas. It provides a wealth of information on the city's past and present, and is a must-read for anyone planning a visit to this historic and picturesque city.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
