City Status
Salisbury had been ranked a city since "time immemorial", and the status had been preserved after 1974 by the Charter Trustees of the City of New Sarum, a body which was dissolved at the time of the new grant. The parish was once again granted city status by letters patent dated 1 April 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or status:
“A million people—manners free and superb—open
voices—hospitality—the most courageous and friendly young men,
City of hurried and sparkling waters! city of spires and masts!
City nested in bays! my city!”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“A genuine Left doesn’t consider anyone’s suffering irrelevant or titillating; nor does it function as a microcosm of capitalist economy, with men competing for power and status at the top, and women doing all the work at the bottom.... Goodbye to all that.”
—Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
