Old Sarum 2019 The original site for the earliest settlement of Salisbury located North of Salisbury today. Evidence of a prehistoric settlement have been discovered from 3000BC onwards. An Iron Age hill fort was built around 400BC to help control local trade paths. Occupation of the site continued throughout the Roman and Saxon period. The biggest change on Old Sarum came during the Norman period, with construction of a motte and bailey castle in 1070, and the building of a stone wall around the settlement and a cathedral completed in 1092. For the next couple of hundred years the settlement enjoyed its best years, with the Cathedral being refurbished and expanding the building to double the length in 1110’s. King Henry I then decided to build a royal palace within the curtain walls in 1130’s. Once the city continued to grow there was a apparent problem with lack of water in the settlement, so much that water was sold at inflated prices which led to talk of the Cathedral moving. In the late 11th and early 12th century the decision was made to move the Cathedral from Old Sarum to a new site. This was due to lack of water and the Cathedral repeatedly being damaged by wind and soldiers of the royal fortress restricting common folk access to the cathedral on serval occasions. Pope Honorius III agreed to the relocation and in 1220 building work began on the new Cathedral, and the settlement that grew around it was Salisbury. The settlement shows evidence on continued habitation but much of Old Sarum was razed to the ground to be used in the new settlement. In 1322 Edward II order for the castle to be demolition. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2JuPor2
