I think it is outstanding, but you would expect me to recommend it as former curator and a present volunteer and chairman of the Regimental Association. But don't take my word for it, get yourself to Salisbury Cathedral Close and find out for yourself. If you come on a Monday or Wednesday I might even give you a personal conducted tour.
