Wells Cathedral

Wells in Somerset is a smallish market town near to where I was born.  The Cathedral sits more or less at the centre of the town.  It's hard to believe that such a building was part of my everyday (or at least everyweek) childhood.








This is Basil.  He is not the Cathedral Cat - but he has taken up semi-permanent residence in the visitor centre.


Cheers, SM

    Astounding craftsmanship - I really can't imagine any of our modern buildings ever lasting that length of time - or emanating such ambience even from images... YAM xx

  6. You have taken some great photos here, well done. Interesting that you were born nearby. I was born in Lilliput, Poole but lived mostly near Bath in my early days. Cheers Diane

    1. I was born near Midsomer Norton! Bath was the place I shopped when you could not get things in Wells! SM

  7. I have not been to Wells but it is on my list. I think there is the Museum of stained glass at the cathedral but I might be wrong about that.
