Malmesbury House entrance
Malmesbury House entrance
One of Salisbury's prime historic sites, it was originally residential houses, called Cole Abbey, or Copt Hall, before becoming a canonry in the thirteenth century. The current buildings date from around the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and include some designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Famously, several important characters stayed here: King Charles II, the Duke Of Monmouth after the uprising failed, and the composer Handel all enjoyed its fine interiors. Grade I listed.

A plaque on the wall is of further historical interest - see .
