Salisbury Cathedral reveals hidden text

Salisbury Cathedral reveals hidden text
Conservation experts have uncovered historic hidden text inscribed on the wall of Salisbury Cathedral.

The text in gothic lettering, thought to be more than 350 years old, was found behind the Henry Hyde monument.

Conservator Tom Beattie said: "We are used to uncovering information about the fabric of the building as we go about our daily work.

"But this has to be one of the best finds. We are all left wondering what the writing was for and what it says."

The discovery was made when the conservators moved the Henry Hyde monument from the south aisle wall to repair and clean it.
