OUR PURPOSE

Making a difference for God through exceptional worship and outreach

This report, as always, describes the rich and

varied nature of the life and work of this Cathedral

Church. 2014/15 was a particularly busy year

which broke new ground in the achievement, for

the first time, of a grant from the Heritage Lottery

Fund which has enabled us to present, display and

interpret Magna Carta to much higher standards

and has seen the glory of the Chapter House

restored in an uncluttered way. The joy that the

completed exhibition has brought is palpable and

is reflected in the many positive comments from

our visitors both at home and abroad.

So much of what we do is due to the unfailing

and unstinting commitment of our dedicated

volunteers who, as always, deserve special

mention and thanks. The thousands of visitors

who come here each year are welcomed by our

volunteers; independent research shows not only

that our visitors rate their experience highly, but

that more and more return for a repeat visit.

The Major Repair Programme continues to be the

Cathedral’s first call on fundraising and the focus

of attention for the Cathedral Works Department

of skilled and dedicated craftsmen and women.

We have increased the momentum of fundraising

and ensured that the conservation of the north

side of the Cathedral was completed during the

Magna Carta year. We remain on track to complete

the Programme entirely by 2018 enabling us to

anticipate an exciting new phase in the Cathedral’s

long life by the preparation of a draft Master Plan

for consultation.

Much has been achieved and there is still much

to do; with confidence and renewed hope we

pledge ourselves to the privilege of bringing

increasing innovation to the tradition that is

Salisbury Cathedral.

The Very Reverend June Osborne DL

Dean of Salisbury

The Dean’s Report


Much has been achieved and there is still much to do


Working with the Diocese

The Cathedral is the seat of the Bishop and a centre of worship and mission. We will support the Bishops in their episcopal ministry in the Diocese.


The Cathedral values its role as the Mother church

of the Diocese and was once again delighted to

host Confirmations, Ordinations, Admissions and

the Chrism Mass. We have continued to support the

Diocesan Board of Education in placing spirituality

at the heart of Church schools and to ensure that

our activities help support this shared vision.

Diocesan concerts by the Cathedral Choir have

continued to bring choral music to the heart of

parishes throughout the year. The Cathedral has

a patronage interest in 19 benefices within the

Diocese and 4 outside it. Work was set in train

to develop the way we communicate with and

support these parishes, including how we can

engage with them in worship.

Diocesan concerts by the Cathedral Choir have continued to bring choral music to the heart of parishes

Our Canon Treasurer, Rev Canon Sarah Mullally,

served as a Governor at Sarum College and we

have continued to work in partnership with

Sarum College and STETS in pursuit of theological

education, formation and training.

We have continued to embed the renewal of

hope in all that we do and specifically through

the opportunities to pray, serve and grow,

exploring with the Bishops how the mission of

the Diocese and that of the Cathedral are

interrelated and complementary.


Spiritual impact

Continue to increase our spiritual impact through the development of worship and outreach activities so that all are offered a sense of God and the invitation to pray.

As a Cathedral, we exist to sustain, enhance and

develop our core purpose of offering worship to

God and providing high quality liturgy and music

at all times. We continue to offer well over a

thousand services a year, from small gatherings in

side chapels to large Diocesan services, funerals,

weddings, baptisms and special services.

The centenary of the outbreak of the First World

War framed much of our liturgical observance this

year, beginning with a special service to mark the

assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, a significant

trigger of the war, followed a day later by a civic

Evensong service. A day of prayer and vigil on

4 August formed the centre of our observance,

supported by poetry readings and original film

footage of the western front. Musical performances

included ‘Voices from No Man’s Land’ during the

Ageas Salisbury International Arts Festival and an

outstanding concert from the Canadian National

Arts Orchestra.

Work with the Diocese led to the names of the fallen

from 110 parishes being submitted and read out

throughout the summer until Remembrance and

the hosting of Bishop Nicholas as he shared his

thoughts on ‘A Just War’.

One of the most striking parts of our

commemorations was the display of 10,000 crosses

created by Wiltshire school children to honour

each individual from the county killed in the war.

This visual indication of the scale of loss and the

children’s heartfelt comments made them an

emotional tribute which thousands of visitors

viewed daily. Another highly moving element

was our ‘Roll of Honour for all Wars’ where over

1,500 visitors recorded the names of loved ones

involved in many wars, with stories of love, loss

and heroism from around the world.

7

Spiritual guidance for the congregation included

the 2015 Lent programme entitled ‘The Power

of Words’ exploring concepts in the Christian

narrative which are increasingly challenged in

the secular world. A labyrinth was also available

for walking and meditations led on the theme of

‘sanctuary’, to tie in with the John Maine

sculpture exhibition.

We have continued to work with our volunteer

Day Chaplains to ensure that pastoral care is

available to all who seek it.

Thanks to generous supporters, we were able to

award two new chorister medallions during the

year. Additional support has meant we were able to

continue to accept talented children into the choir,

whatever their financial circumstances.


The centenary of the outbreak of the First World War framed much of our liturgical observance this year


Enhancing the experience

Enhance the experience of Salisbury Cathedral for visitors and worshippers.

We have aimed to use the Cathedral and its

Close more frequently and professionally as a

venue for non-liturgical events and to facilitate

this, we established the new roles of Floor

Manager and Events Manager this year.

One of the new events we staged was the

inaugural Contemporary Craft and Heritage Fair,

in partnership with the Rotary Club of Salisbury.

This two day event attracted 2,800 people who

experienced demonstrations of heritage skills

like stone carving and calligraphy and had the

opportunity to buy high quality local craft.

Lectures continued on cultural change and

Salisbury Cathedral covering topics such as

‘Faith and Worship and the Gothic revival’. A

fashion show took place in the cloisters as part

of Salisbury Fashion Week as well as a community

arts ‘Paint-Off’ event.

School visits remained strong with approximately

10,000 children attending a variety of activities on

wide range of subjects, all designed to complement

September 2014’s new curriculum. Professional

development training was delivered to teachers on

spirituality and on Magna Carta. The First World War

commemoration was an opportunity to work with a

local army base school, exploring the connections

between their lives now and those of military

families a century ago.

A host of activities were provided for families

with regular sessions during school holidays,

reflective and activity trails at Christmas and

Easter and at ‘play days’ across the city. Other

family events included a Christingle procession

and service with St Thomas’s Church and a special

Evensong centred around the lighting of the

Christmas tree lights.

Thanks to the tireless work of our Visual Arts

Advisor Jacquiline Creswell three major art

installations took place across the year. John

Maine’s ‘Sanctuary’ was a large-scale exhibition

of stone sculpture with a supporting programme

of workshops. Nicholas Pope’s ‘The Apostles

Speaking in Tongues Lit by their Own Lamps’

provided challenge in the form of an installation

of abstract clay figures with real ‘tongues of fire’

depicting the events of Pentecost. Christmas

Three major art installations took place across the year


saw a return visit from Bruce Munro whose light

projection ‘Star of Bethlehem’ radiated the text

from St Matthew’s gospel, translated into Morse

code, out from the centre of the font from above.

In January 2014 the Cathedral was presented with

the ‘Pride of Wiltshire’ award given by Wiltshire

Life to recognise the best within the region and

was also awarded a Certificate of Excellence by

TripAdvisor. Our Refectory was one of only four

sites to receive a ‘Quality Café Accolade’ award

from national tourist organisation, VisitEngland,

for the team’s willingness ‘to go the extra mile and

deliver an outstanding visitor experience’.

The development of a ‘digital culture’ at the

Cathedral continued as we began to make most

weekly sermons available as audio recordings so

that they can be listened to at home. Recordings

of both the Cathedral and the Chamber choir taken

live from the Cathedral’s choral services have

also been shared. Work to make the website ‘fully

responsive’ so it displays at its best regardless

whether it is viewed on a computer, tablet or

smart phone, was completed in August 2014.

10

Opportunities for Worship

Enhance the opportunities for worship in private and in small groups.

This year we completed our periods of

experimentation prior to making recommendations

about the re-ordering of the Trinity Chapel.

St Michael’s Chapel was re-ordered and new hangings

and cloths were designed ready for commission in

the coming year, supported by a generous donation

from the Friends of Salisbury Cathedral. Responding

to the needs of people wishing to pray on specific

topics, the Chapel of St Lawrence was used in this

way throughout the year.

Longstanding volunteers who ran the Sunday

Club retired and a new phase of development

began. Whilst discussions took place planning

for a more permanent staffing role, the leading

of the Sunday activity was undertaken for two

terms by another volunteer. Plans were then

put in place during the early part of 2015 to

allow the recruitment of a part time Sunday

Club leader and to begin the longer term

vision for work with children and young

people’s ministry.

St Michael’s Chapel was re-ordered and new hangings and cloths were designed



Making a difference

Implement a sustainable programme of work at home and with the wider Church, to ensure that Salisbury Cathedral works in partnership to make a practical difference in the lives of people.

Work began with the Trussell Trust charity to

support the development of the ‘Barons’ Trail’, in

partnership with Wild In Art, as part of the city’s

Magna Carta celebrations in the summer of 2015.

The year saw the launch of the trail at the Cathedral

and our Education department devised the

teacher’s educational resource pack for use in

participating schools.

Other partnerships continued locally with the

Cathedral hosting the annual Alabaré ‘sleep-out’

in the cloisters and providing voluntary help

from staff to support the Trussell Trust food bank

alongside donations of food from Harvest.

Regular donations from the congregation

supported both charities.

One of the key outreach projects of our Magna

Carta programme was working with the men of

Erlestoke prison in an art

project. We worked with prison staff to devise

activities to explore the inmates’ ideas of rights,

justice and freedom, and deliver

practical workshops using clay to represent

their thoughts and ideas.

Special services were devised with partners

from Salisbury’s Amnesty International

group and the Holocaust Memorial Day with

moving contributions from students at Bishop

Wordsworth’s Grammar School.

We initiated two projects to help local students to

develop their skills. The first was supported by the

Worshipful Company of Masons and encouraged

young people to develop practical skills through

stone-carving, learning alongside the Cathedral

masons. The second project, supported by the

Wiltshire Community Foundation, aimed to

develop boys’ literacy at a local secondary school.

A professional writer of young adult fiction was

commissioned to spend time with the boys at the

Cathedral using the building as inspiration to

develop their creative writing with the result that

some pupils produced stories who normally find the

creative process difficult.

and was covered by every major UK broadcaster.

52 new volunteers were trained within the Magna

Carta Programme and 182 existing volunteers

received additional training and took on new roles

reflecting the requirements of the Magna Carta

programme, including costumed interpreters.

The Magna Carta Programme Board continued

to monitor the preparations for the anniversary

year and develop partnerships to maximise

engagement across the city and region. We are

grateful to Wilsons Solicitors who sponsored the

anniversary year’s varied programme of activities.

The development and care of our Library and

Archives was an important element of

our HLF award. A Cathedral Archivist was

recruited who undertook an initial condition

survey of the archive collection which will

inform a comprehensive conservation strategy

The first stage of our Heritage Lottery Fund

(HLF) application was approved in January 2014.

A key target for the year was to complete the

development phase and secure the final funding.

In consultation with key partners, we drew up an

activity plan outlining the whole range of Magna

Carta projects and an ambitious Learning and

Outreach programme.

Final funding was secured in September and

plans were put into action for building the

new exhibition ‘Magna Carta: Spirit of Justice,

Power of Words’, to open in March 2015. The new

interactive exhibition focuses on the history of

the document and its links to struggles for human

rights today.

1,215 people saw the four surviving copies of

Magna Carta come together at the British Library

and 2,500 saw them at the House of Lords. This

unification event generated over 300 national and

for the long term care and management of the

collection. The layout of the Library has been

improved with space allocated for a modern

reference collection relating to the Cathedral’s

history, Magna Carta and Sarum Liturgy as well as

IT equipment. There have been more visits to

the Library by internal and external groups as

well as local and international scholars and

there is now more information about the archive

on the website.

A team of volunteers has been recruited to

assist the Archivist and a Library and Archive

Advisory Panel of external experts appointed. A

full condition check of Magna Carta took place

before the unification at the British Library and

a number of items from the archive with links to

it were conserved, mounted and displayed in the

new exhibition. Magna Carta’s new purpose-built

frame makes access to the document easy so that

it can be monitored by conservationists.


Major Repair Programme

Move within touching distance of the completion of the Cathedral’s Major Repair Programme (MRP).

The greatest achievement this year was the

completion of work on the north side of the

building and removal of scaffolding in January

2015. This was a major milestone in the history of

the Cathedral and the first time the three visitor-

facing sides of the Cathedral have been clear of

scaffolding for decades. We were fortunate to

be awarded two grants to help with this work

from the First World War Centenary Cathedral

Repairs Fund, which recognises the important role

that cathedrals have in the commemoration of

significant national anniversaries.

The restoration of the entire north cloister of

thirteen bays was also completed in this year, in

preparation for our Magna Carta celebrations.

This was the single largest re-plastering of any

cathedral cloisters in the country. Thanks must go

to our dedicated team of artisans, some of whom

have plastered every single bay since the start of

the cloister project nearly two decades ago!

The Major Repair Programme will continue to be

the Cathedral’s first call on fundraising so that we

remain on track to complete the programme by

2018. To this end, we continued to promote our

‘Sponsor a Stone’ initiative, which gives donors an

opportunity to have a specific stone carved with

their initials which then takes its place within the

fabric of the Cathedral.

The greatest achievement this year was the completion of work on the north side of the building and removal of scaffolding in January 2015


The Cathedral School

Support the development of the Salisbury Cathedral School.

Work continued throughout 2014/15 to develop

complementary master plans for the Cathedral

and the Cathedral School and expert advice was

commissioned on the future use and conservation

of the buildings.

Following the highly successful Choir tour to

Saintes we began to plan and fundraise for a tour

to Xanten in Germany in 2016.

The Cathedral assisted the School with the

appointment of a School Chaplain, Revd Elizabeth

Moore-Bick, whose appointment enabled us to

define the permanent role which will be filled

after September 2015.

The School is financially independent of the

Cathedral and its results are not included within

the Cathedral’s consolidated accounts. In

practice, however, the relationship between the

Cathedral and the School is both longstanding and

profound, and extends well beyond the provision

of choristers. Members of the ministerial team

enjoy links with the School, including involvement

in worship and preparation for confirmation. The

Friday morning School service at the Cathedral is a

vibrant act of worship and second only to Sunday as

the largest congregation of the week.

The Cathedral Close

Improve the Cathedral Close environment in partnership with residents and stakeholders.

The Close environment includes the Churchyard,

Choristers’ Green and Marsh and Rack Closes. It

contains one college, three schools, two museums

and three further properties open to the public.

Management of this environment includes the

upkeep and maintenance of the precincts.

Improvements to the directional signage

around the Close and the inside the Cathedral

began this year, following consultation with

numerous stakeholders.

In August 2014 the Cathedral trialled alternative

traffic access in the Close. The High Street Gate

was closed to traffic during the afternoons and

St Ann’s Gate entrance was used instead. This

trial was the first of a number of pilot schemes

exploring ways to reduce traffic and to improve

the historic environment and its safety for

residents and visitors alike. Research was

conducted and feedback was sought and this

data was reviewed by the Cathedral and its

traffic management consultants.

The pilot showed that there are benefits in

closing the High Street Gate at peak visitor

periods to reduce traffic and improve pedestrian

safety by removing vehicular and pedestrian

conflict. Other key findings about school traffic

and the flow of pedestrians pointed to the need

for further consideration about how to reduce

traffic and increase pedestrian safety on a more

sustainable basis. Chapter will continue to

work closely with the local authorities and our

neighbours in the Close to determine how these

findings can be practically applied.

Improvements to the directional signage around the Close and the inside the Cathedral began this year

For the fifth year running we achieved a surplus of income over expenditure

18Salisbury Cathedral Annual Report 2014–15


Financial review

For the fifth year running we achieved a surplus

of income over expenditure of £363,000 (2014:

£1,699,000). Surpluses such as these are most

welcome and arise from significant, specific

donations and grants for the Major Repair

Programme in each year. This year the Cathedral

has been in receipt of a substantial legacy of

£100,000 for unrestricted funds. These gifts have

to be recorded in the year in which they are received

and cannot be carried forward to be matched with

the expenditure in future years which they are

intended to fund. The accounting treatment gives

rise to swings in income and expenditure. The

Cathedral has also benefitted from a significant

increase on its return on investment income.

We have also been fortunate during the year

to secure Heritage Lottery Funding for the

delivery phase of the Magna Carta project receiving

£346,000, along with a generous gift from an

anonymous donor in support of the social justice

fund. The Friends of Salisbury Cathedral provided

a grant of £74,000 to repay the endowment funds

used for the building of the new toilets known as

‘Little Paradise’.

Financial review (continued)

The continuing annual commitment to an average

spend of £650,000 on the Major Repair Programme

requires donations of equivalent amounts each

year to fund it. We are most grateful for the

donations received in the year towards these

costs. They included a successful application for

the First World War grant with funds drawn down

to date of £233,000, trusts, ‘sponsor a stone’

scheme and donations of £171,000 from the Ivor

Read Charity, Salisbury Cathedral Trust and a

grant from the Cathedral Fabric Repair Fund.

The ambitious programme of conservation work

– begun in 1986 – is now 88% complete, but more

help is essential if we are to successfully make the

final push towards a planned completion in 2018.

The Cathedral successfully obtained funding

to aid the celebration year of the Magna Carta

with three grants from The Magna Carta 800th

Committee and the Arts Council England, each

supporting learning and outreach activities.

All the property owned by the Cathedral is situated within the close or its immediate vicinity


within the Close or its immediate vicinity.

The Cathedral recorded unrealised gains in

investments in the year of £1.1 million, against

unrealized gains recorded of £1 million in the

previous year. The Cathedral also revalued its

properties in the year showing unrealized gains

of £2.4 million. Although endowed funds can

only be used for limited purposes, the income

derived from them can be used for general,

unrestricted purposes and is an important part

of the annual budget. Salisbury Cathedral’s

investment portfolio is managed by professional

investment managers and their performance is

monitored on behalf of Chapter by the Cathedral’s

Finance Advisory Group. The Cathedral has set

an ethical investment policy (which draws on

guidance given by the Church Commissioners).

The Cathedral’s unrestricted funds are those

funds that are available to carry out its day to

day worship and outreach activities together

with the basic upkeep of its buildings and

precincts. Income is principally derived from

visitors, property rents, investments and

trading activities.

In 2014/15 the Cathedral experienced an

unusual pattern of visitors but despite early

worries finished strongly, with visitor numbers

just slightly behind 2013/14’s strong showing at

246,000 (-1%). Research suggested an increase

in overseas visitors, with the North American

market proving stronger than for many years.

Donation income rose significantly, with visitors

making higher average donations than in previous

years. The final figure of £1,162,000 was a new

high, and 6% higher than the previous year. The

gift shop made a total profit of £186,000 and the

Refectory, buoyed by its recent refit, new seating

and new menu, had an excellent year, delivering a

commission to the Cathedral of £139,000.

Given the fluctuations in its income streams that

are largely outside of its control, Chapter has

an objective to retain in unrestricted reserves

an amount equivalent to six months’ annual

expenditure in order that the Cathedral can not

only meet its current commitments but also be

able to realise gradually its plans to renew and

develop its facilities for worshippers, visitors and

staff. The Cathedral has after many years attained

this target and with continued careful financial

management the Cathedral has been able to

maintain these activities and is actively planning

to augment its funds through fundraising, cost

control and income generation.

The Cathedral is immensely grateful for the

faithful financial provision of its congregation

and longstanding supporters, both personal and

corporate. It continues to widen that circle of

support through its fundraising initiatives, and

through an attractive and compelling set of goals.

accounts for the year ended 31 March 2015
