Salisbury
Sarum is the old name for modern Salisbury, and is the location of the cathedral from which this group got its name.

The course that got this all started
Bob Scott's Gothic Cathedrals and Great Churches of England, 1150-1350 Stanford University Continuing Studies course.
Bob Scott's course has evolved into a book, The Gothic Enterprise, published by University of California Press in 2003. Most of the photographs and artwork in the book were supplied by seminar members. Its bibliography is an updated version of the one originally provided for Bob's course.
Bob continued his study of cathedrals and medieval society with Miracle Cures: Saints, Pilgrimage and the Healing Powers of Belief, published in 2010. Reviews of the books and a description of Bob's current projects can be found here.
