                  Purchase Shares of Common Stock and Shares of Common Stock

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         As counsel for  Salisbury  Bancorp,  Inc. (the  "Corporation"),  we are
furnishing  you with  this  opinion  in  connection  with  the  sale by  selling
shareholder of 8,816 Shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative  Perpetual Preferred Stock,
Series A, par value $.01 per share,  the  Warrant to Purchase  57,671  Shares of
Common Stock,  par value $.10 per share,  and 57,671 Shares of Common Stock, par
value $.10 per share, of the Corporation  (together,  the "Shares") to which the
above-referenced Registration Statement relates.

         As  counsel  to the  Corporation,  we have  examined  the  Registration
Statement and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate in
order to express the opinion set forth  below.  In  connection  with our opinion
hereinafter  given,  we have  examined  and relied  upon  originals,  or copies,
certified or otherwise,  identified  to our  satisfaction,  of such  agreements,
documents,  certificates and other statements of government officials, corporate
officers  and  representatives,  and  such  other  documents  as we have  deemed
relevant and necessary as a basis for such opinion. In such examination, we have
assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the  authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals and the conformity  with the original  documents of
documents submitted to us as copies.

         Based upon the  foregoing,  we are of the opinion  that the Shares have
been duly authorized and are, or when issued will be, legally issued, fully paid
and non-assessable.

         We hereby  consent  to the use of this  opinion  as an  exhibit  to the
Registration  Statement.  In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we
come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of
the Securities  Act or the rules and  regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

                                              Very truly yours,



                                              /s/ Cranmore, FitzGerald & Meaney
