The Close at Salisbury is unsurpassed in Britain for its sheer space and elegance just as the Cathedral spire is taller than any other. In this book Sue Finniss demonstrates her excellence as a watercolour artist with a series of spectacular views of the cathedral and other buildings in the Close. Each painting is accompanied by a lengthy caption which sets the scene historically and architecturally. Sue Finniss is a local professional artist who works with watercolours and teaches. John Elliott is a retired architectural historian who lives near Salisbury.
