Salisbury Cathedral School is a co-educational independent school located in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England. It was founded in 1091 by Saint Osmund at Old Sarum.〔'The cathedral of Salisbury: From the foundation to the fifteenth century', A History of the County of Wiltshire: Volume 3 (1956), pp. 156–183.

Date accessed: 28 January 2008.〕〔Nicholas Orme, '(School founders and patrons in England, 597–1560 )', Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, online edn, Oxford University Press, Oct 2006, accessed 28 Jan 2008〕 ==History== The school was founded by Saint Osmund, the Bishop of Old Sarum and Earl of Dorset, who was recognized for his good works when he was canonised several hundred years later in 1456.〔Powicke ''Handbook of British Chronology'' p. 81〕〔Robertson, Dora H., ''Sarum Close'' (Jonathan Cape, 1938; 2nd.ed. 1969)〕 Osmund was born in Normandy and was a first cousin of William the Conqueror, King of England: William's father, Robert the Magnificent, Duke of Normandy, was the brother of Isabella, Countess of Séez, the mother of Osmund.〔 The first notable pupil of the school was John of Salisbury who served Archbishop Thomas Becket until the latter was murdered in 1170. John was quoted by Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine.〔(Power of a woman:Memoirs of a turbulent life: Eleanor of Aquitaine ) p.339 by Robert Fripp. ISBN 978-0-9780621-0-1 accessed 24 January 2008〕 Originally, the School would have been housed near to the Cathedral at Old Sarum. At the start of the 13th.Century the centre of the Diocese of Salisbury was moved from Old Sarum to its present site. The choristers would then have lodged with various canons in the new Cathedral Close. After 1319, a house was built in The Close to house the School (known as 'The Choristers' House'). The School remained here for the next 300 years. The choristers were educated in the Chancellor's Grammar School nearby. In 1714, the School moved to a new School House built for it on the north-west side of The Close. This came to known as 'Wren Hall' and, with the house connected to it (Braybrooke House) this acted as the centre of the School campus until the middle of the 20th.Century. Owing to the fact that this campus could not keep pace with the growing size of the School, the campus was relocated, in 1946/47, to the former Bishop's Palace in the grounds of the Cathedral. The building is designated as a Grade I listed building by English Heritage.〔(English Heritage Images of England reference no. 318958 )〕 The Choristers of Salisbury Cathedral are educated at the school. In 1987, the first girls were admitted. In a landmark move, the cathedral became the first in England to allow female choristers when it opened its choristership programme to girls in 1991.〔(History )〕 More recently, a library partly funded by the former bookstore chain, Ottakar's, was opened in October 2002. Two members of the Heneage family who owned the company were former pupils. The school featured in a BBC television documentary entitled ''Angelic Voices: The Choristers of Salisbury Cathedral'', first broadcast in March 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Salisbury Cathedral School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
