Malmesbury House entrance
One of Salisbury's prime historic sites, it was originally residential houses, called Cole Abbey, or Copt Hall, before becoming a canonry in the thirteenth century. The current buildings date from around the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and include some designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Famously, several important characters stayed here: King Charles II, the Duke Of Monmouth after the uprising failed, and the composer Handel all enjoyed its fine interiors. Grade I listed.
A plaque on the wall is of further historical interest - see .

Houses of The Close: nos. 17, & 18 the Sub-Deanery
18, The Close (the Sub-Deanery) to the left is a Grade II Listed early canonical house of the C14, but what remains hidden behind the front facade is mostly C16/17. The front facade is the result of an early C19 encasement and heightening. To the right is no. 17 The Close, also Grade II and C15; it was almost entirely rebuilt in the C16/17.

The bottom black plaque reads:-
An important timely point of interest to the passer by...
In the year of our Lord 1752, the Reformation of the Calendar took place - see the Wall Dial above dated 1749. This Julian calendar made the year too short, thus the accumulated error amounted to eleven days. England adopted the Gregorian calendar, so the next day after Sept 2nd 1752 became Sept 14th 1752.
