I like the postcard very much but it’s slightly frustrating in that a . . . → Read More: Salisbury in old postcards #5 
This is an old postcard of ‘the Italianate Church’ at Wilton, looking much as it does now. It’s the Church of Saint Mary and Nicholas in Wilton. The style of the church was inspired by Catherine Romanovich, who was the wife of George Augustus Herbert, the 11th Earl of Pembroke.
