Cathedral Chapter Minutes 1935-1942
Salisbury Cathedral's archive includes the records of Chapter meetings from 1329 to the present day. This particular volume covers the period 2 January 1935 to 25 November 1942. In it are recorded a diverse range of issues discussed, and decisions taken, by Chapter - the Cathedral's primary decision making committee. This volume, as it covers part of the the Second World War period, also records references to the safeguarding of the Cathedral treasures and the war service of staff members. Frustratingly many entries are brief, not recording the details about events that we'd like to know today!
