The church of St George is mentioned in a document of 1115 and the nave and chancel date to this time. The south chapel and some modelling of the nave took place circa 1300. The tower was built or rebuilt in the early 19th century and the church was restored in 1874. Listed, grade II*, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1242798 A cathedral was established at the Iron Age hillfort of Old Sarum by the Normans. In 1220 the cathedral was removed to the nearby plain and New Sarum (Salisbury) grew up around it, receiving a city charter in 1227. Located at the confluence of five rivers (Avon, Nadder, Ebble, Wylye and Bourne) the city is prone to flooding. Traffic between the ports of Southampton and Bristol, passes around the city's ring-road via the A36 causing much congestion.
