Sarum College Bookshop
Sarum College Bookshop is Salisbury's only independent Christian and theological bookshop.
Alongside its extensive academic collection, the bookshop is a stockist for the Royal School of Church Music (RSCM) and carries a wide selection of Bibles, liturgy resources, church supplies and greeting cards.
Personal attention is our speciality: we offer mail order service and staff are happy search for books on any subject, including out-of-print titles.
Once you've bought your books, you might like to browse them over a hot drink in the Sarum College Common Room. Drinks are free to all bookshop customers on the day of their purchase.
