Salisbury Cathedral  
As there are a considerable number of monuments in the cathedral, I have attempted to indicate their location. The general part of the cathedral is indicated in the blue band above the photographs. I have begun at the east and numbered the bays in the choir and nave starting from the east. In the transepts I have listed them from the crossing bgining along the west wall.  In each principal section the photographs are arranged to fit, rather than in logical order!
