Salisbury Cathedral's Stone Masons to repair Poultry Cross

The Stone Masons from Salisbury Cathedral will carry out repair work to Salisbury Poultry Cross following damage caused during a police pursuit in May this year.

Salisbury City Council has been given permission from Historic England to commence restoration of the monument which is due to start on Monday 24th October.

The Stone Masons from Salisbury Cathedral will dismantle and rebuild the South Buttress, which contains the damaged area. During dismantling, individual stones will be recorded and those that are undamaged or can be restored will be numbered and used in the rebuild.

Materials used will be traditional lime mortar and a heritage lime gravity-poured grout.
