Organiser Wells Cathedral
Organiser of High Sheriff's Concert - Celebrating Somerset: Sumoræte ealle
Wells Cathedral is located in the mediaeval city of Wells in Somerset. Built between 1175 and 1490, our Cathedral has been described as “the most poetic of the English Cathedrals”. We welcome visitors every day of the year to experience this wonderful and holy place.
Situated within an easy drive from Bristol, Bath and Cardiff, Wells Cathedral has unique features that separate it from other English cathedrals including the beautiful ‘scissor arches’, supporting the central tower. This structure was added in 1338 after the weight of a new spire on the top of the tower threatened to collapse the whole thing.
