Going to Salisbury, England?

[ppfuf]

Is anybody going to Salisbury, England this year?  Salisbury is south and a good bit west of London. The Salisbury Museum has two sets of trenchers I'd really like to have photographs of.

Actually, if your travel plans are anywhere in England, I may have a museum you should visit.

Toss me the info for the London museums, and we'll make sure we get pics!

The V&A

I have a few pictures of this set from Cin, but more are nice. :) http://images.vam.ac.uk/item/O78997/set-of-roundels-twelve-wonders-of-the-world/
In theory, the V&A has about 40 other sets, but I do not know if they ever display them.

British Museum

There's some fruit trenchers on display in the British Museum, and sometimes the display changes. Check out the case holding the silver dinner collection called the Armada
Service (Room 46: Europe 1400-1800).
There's also a lot prints that would have been used to make trenchers, but are currently uncut.
