England
has many pretty and historic places. I
liked Wells in Somerset – and in
particular its cathedral very much.
Part
of the cathedral dates back to the 10th century – which is an
unimaginable age for those of us living in the so-called New World. The West
Front of the cathedral still has almost 300 of its original Mediaeval
statues.
One
of the streets in Wells – the Vicar's
Close is said to be the oldest residential street in Europe.
Wells
is named after its 3 wells dedicated to St Andrew.
Despite
its grand cathedral not many people live in Wells – it has city status (since
1205) despite only having about 10,000 people!
I went to Wells when I travelled to the UK and it was as pretty as a postcard and so much history to take in. Beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I like religious sites that are associated with wells.
