Salisbury. The British Isles, brought out in parts by Messrs. Cassell 

 & Co., Part VI., Oct., 1904, contains a chapter on Winchester and 

 Salisbury. The latter city and cathedral are polished off in four pages 

 of letterpress of the flimsiest kind, with a very inaccurate plan of the 

 city, and small views of the Cathedral from the S.W., the King's House, 

 and the Cloisters. 



Salisbury, City Gates. During alterations to the old cottages 

 opposite the ahnshouses in Castle Street, the scanty remains of the 

 stonework of the city gate erected across Castle Street in 1367 under a 

 licence from Bishop Wyvil to fortify the city and erect four gates, were 

 removed. In the masonry were two gargoyles and a large stone 

 sculptured with the royal arms, which once probably occupied the central 

 position on the gate. These relics have been preserved. No wall was 

 built round the city, but a rampart and fosse were constructed from 

 near St. Martin's Church to the Avon in Castle Street, the last remnant 

 of which disappeared when "Eampart Koad " was laid out in 1895. A 

 portion of the side M'all of the gate then erected across Winchester Street 

 still remains. Devises Gazette, April 6th, 1905.
