Residents of Salisbury are invited to the city’s Annual Charter Service that marks the 5th anniversary of the Salisbury incident
Salisbury’s Annual Charter Service is taking place on Sunday, 5 March 2023, at 10.15 am as part of Charter Sunday, and residents are welcome to attend.
The service will celebrate the signing of the Salisbury Charter in 1227 and the links between the Council, Church and the wider community. It will take place at the Parish Church of St Thomas and St Edmund’s, Salisbury. It is open to the public, and Salisbury’s Mayor and City Councillors will also be attending.
This year’s service coincides with the 5th anniversary of the Salisbury incident. This will offer an opportunity for remembrance and reflection on those events that happened in 2018 whilst focusing on how the city has grown together, got stronger, and progressed from the many incidents it has encountered over the years.
As part of Charter Sunday, the Mayor and City Councillors will process from Salisbury Guildhall at 10 am to St. Thomas’ Church for the annual service, which will mark 796 years since the Charter was signed.
If you are unable to attend, the service will also be live-streamed and can be viewed here on the day: https://www.youtube.com/@stthomasschurchsalisbury8072/streams
The history of the Charter is a fascinating and ancient story; King Henry III made New Sarum a City in 1227 by a Charter confirming the relocation of the cathedral from Sarisberie and establishing the Charter Market and the annual Charter Fair – both of which remain a vibrant part of the City’s life.
