Wells Cathedral
visited February 2020
Wells Cathedral, in the small town of Wells is a beautiful place to visit (although perhaps not on the rainy day in February when I visited!). It's got some glorious stained glass, the stunning West Front, a lovely chapter house, with very worn stairs to get to it, and splendid scissor arches. It is also, of course, the resting place of many of the great and the good of the area.
Sadly most of my photos don't seem to have come out of the many memorials around the building, but I was very excited to find a cadaver tomb, that of Bishop Thomas Beckington who died in the late 13th century. The other photo which came out is the memorial lined cloisters which, as with many cathedrals, are a peaceful place to spend a while.
Now the cathedrals are open again, do go and visit Wells, and take in the Bishop's Palace and Vicars' Close while you're in the city.
