ASH MILLS ON BEHALF OF SALISBURY CATHEDRAL

This year marks the 750th anniversary of the dedication of Salisbury Cathedral (p. 11). To celebrate the event, the cathedral has a yearlong schedule of special events. Perhaps the most colorful was June’s Festival of Flowers that filled the cathedral nave with fragrant, elaborate floral arrangements.[/caption]
