When the see was moved to Old Sarum, the cathedral became an Sherborne Abbey and, after the dissolution the abbey church became the town's famous parish church. Very much a thriving modern town, cars seem oddly out of place in this ancient setting. Sir Walter Raleigh recieved the fortified Biship's Palace on the northern edge of the town from a grateful Queen Elizabeth but found the 'Old' Castle none to his liking - he built the 'New' Castle in its grounds instead.
