Sarum College

Sarum College is a theological college in Cathedral Close in Salisbury that provides accommodation and conference facilities for visitors. The three-story brick building with symmetrical windows sits on well-maintained grounds facing the cathedral and contains more than 50 guest rooms along with catering services.

The main building dates to 1677 and gained importance when it became Salisbury Theological College in 1860 under Bishop Walter Kerr Hamilton. This shift transformed the location into a center for theological training that continues today.

The college sits in a setting deeply connected to the cathedral and attracts people interested in exploring theology and Christian questions. The grounds themselves feel contemplative, offering visitors a space to reflect within a location tied to centuries of religious life.

The college provides accommodation and meals for visitors attending conferences or courses or interested in theological study. Guests should arrange visits in advance since rooms are limited and the grounds are only open at certain times.

The college offers an unusual doctoral program where students can combine theological research with artistic projects. Candidates present both creative works and written research for their examination, creating a distinctive approach to academic study.
