The Diocese of Salisbury arose from the ancient Saxon dioceses of [[Sherborne, Dorset|Sherborne]] and [[Ramsbury, Wiltshire|Ramsbury]] that were combined in the 11th century (1058). After the Norman Conquest the episcopal see was moved to the castle at [[Old Sarum, Wiltshire|Old Sarum]]. In the 13th century a new cathedral was built to the south, founding the city of New Sarum, now known as [[Salisbury, Wiltshire|Salisbury]]. | The Diocese of Salisbury arose from the ancient Saxon dioceses of [[Sherborne, Dorset|Sherborne]] and [[Ramsbury, Wiltshire|Ramsbury]] that were combined in the 11th century (1058).
