Wells Cathedral, Somerset
| View Cart ⇗ | Info
Built between 1175 and 1490, Wells Cathedral has been described as “the most poetic of the English Cathedrals". Much of the structure is in the Early English style and is greatly enriched by the deeply sculptural nature of the mouldings and the vitality of the carved capitals in a foliate style known as “stiff leaf". The eastern end has retained much original glass, which is rare in England. The exterior has a splendid Early English façade and a large central tower.
