Sarum St. Michael was originally established in 1841 as The Diocesan Training Collage (later renamed 'The College of Sarum St. Michael'), slowly being extended over the following 121 years as the demand for further classrooms and housing rose. Following the college's closure in 1978, the building was converted into a number of residential properties, for those wishing to live within one of Wiltshire's most iconic locations. 184 The Close is located on the ground floor of the former 'Principals House', with a breath-taking direct view of the Cathedrals western elevation from the sitting room and front door.
