On Sunday 14 January 2024, after more than 10 years of planning, selecting and commissioning designs, Salisbury Cathedral formally unveiled two new altars.

Design competition entries were invited in August 2018, and it was won by Luke Hughes. The altars are a unique collaboration between sculptor William Pye and furniture maker Luke Hughes.

Darkened glass surface on each altar also echoes both vaulting above and stained glass, so that this lofty space and the altars become one. The effect is magical. This is the smaller of the two altars, and is placed in the Trinity Chapel. The larger one is octagonal and has a steady stream of water flowing acrpss the top. Very beautiful, but the reflections are blurred.
