Ever wondered how they changed the bulbs at the top of the Cathedral?

Watch as the Clerk of Works, Gary Price, takes the trip to the top of Salisbury Cathedral's spire to change the lightbulb.

The team climb 123m (404ft) to the top of Salisbury's most prominent landmark to carry out some routine maintenance, climbing the final few feet outside of the spire for the final ascent. 

They climb out of the small 'Weather Door', which is 30 feet below the top of the spire. 

It takes around an hour to climb to the top, and the team spends a couple of hours changing bulbs and carrying out other maintenance.
