Sarum Rite

The Sarum Rite was a medieval Christian liturgical tradition developed in Salisbury, England, during the 11th to 13th centuries. It shaped the way Catholics in England and parts of Wales celebrated Mass, daily prayers, and special ceremonies. Its practices and calendar influenced many aspects of worship, including specific readings, prayers, and rituals. Over time, the Sarum Rite was replaced by the Roman Rite after the English Reformation, but it played a significant role in shaping medieval church worship and liturgical music in Britain.
