Salisbury, Use of or Sarum, Use of. The medieval modification of the Roman rite used in the cathedral church at Salisbury, traditionally ascribed to St Osmund. The Customary, i.e. the cathedral statutes and customs and a complete directory of services, was compiled by Richard Poore (d. 1237). The ‘New Use of Sarum’ was a 14th-cent revision. In the later Middle Ages the Sarum Use was followed in many other dioceses; it provided the main material for the First (1549) BCP.
