August 2008 -Just inside the High Street Gate - Matrons College. Click on the archway  to get a closer look at the stone work. Before the  Reformation there was a building on this site which housed the priest  who served the Crown Chantry in the cathedral. Bishop Seth Ward  purchased the freehold from a city merchant Thomas Hawles for the  building of a Matrons College to provide a sheltered home for ten widows of clergy, from the Diocese of Salisbury and Exeter. Although the  architecture is very much of the style created by Christopher Wren there is no indication that he had any part in the design of the College. It  was completed in March 1682 by Thomas Glover, a builder in Harnham,  across the River Avon, at a cost of £1,193 12s 6d and the detailed  specifications for the building, down to the locks, keys and purbeck  floor stones are still kept in the cathedral archives.

February 2007 - High Street Gate and Porters Lodge. Built between 1327 and 1342 the High Street gate is the main point of entry into the Cathedral Close. It housed the small lock-up jail for those convicted of misdeeds within the Liberty of the Close. Beside the gate stands the Porters Lodge.

July 2012 - The sundial dating from 1749 on Malmesbury House in the cathedral close. There is a plaque on the wall of the property which reads: In the year of our Lord 1752, the Reformation of the Calendar took place - see the Wall Dial above dated 1749. This Julian calendar made the year too short, thus the accumulated error amounted to eleven days. England adopted the Gregorian calendar, so the next day after Sept 2nd 1752 became Sept 14th 1752.

Arundells in the cathedral close. This was once the home of Sir Edward Heath. See the blue plaque below.
