MenuWells, Somerset
Wells is a cathedral city in Somerset. There was a small Roman settlement around the wells, but its importance grew after King Ine of Wessex founded a minster church in 704. Wells cathedral, dating from the 10th century, is known for its fine fan vaulted ceilings, Lady Chapel and windows, and the scissor arches which support the central tower. The Bishop's Palace has been the home of the Bishops of Bath and Wells for 800 years. The gardens include the springs from which the city takes its name. The Church of St Cuthbert has a fine Somerset stone tower and a superb carved roof. The city is within the council area of Somerset.
