Climb the ‘Sea of Steps’ with me at Wells Cathedral. The treads of these iconic stairs have worn into soft hollows by centuries of canons climbing to the breathtaking Chapter House. This graceful 14th-century staircase, rising in a gentle curve beneath ribbed vaulting, leads into one of England’s finest Chapter Houses, a masterpiece of early Decorated Gothic, its central pier blossoming like a stone palm to support a vault of light. #WellsCathedral #SeaOfSteps #ChapterHouse #EnglishCathedrals #G

In Wells, in Somerset, you will find the oldest medieval street in the UK and possibly even Europe… Vicars’ Close dates from 1348 and was built for the ‘Vicars Choral’, the group who served the adjacent Wells Cathedral and sang in the choir. They have recently launched a project called Vicars’ Close: A Medieval Street Singing Through the Centuries to conserve and celebrate the street. As part of that they hope to open up never before seen spaces to the public. . . . . . #medievalhistory #wells #

Wells Cathedral Exploring Wells Cathedral in Somerset, one of England’s most extraordinary Gothic masterpieces. Built from around 1175, it was the first English cathedral designed entirely in the new Early Gothic style. The West Front still holds around 300 medieval statues, and the 14th‑century Jesse Window remains one of Europe’s finest examples of medieval stained glass. There’s something timeless about wandering through Somerset’s most historic spaces. @VisitWells #Somerset #historytime #his
