About This Book
The work offers a concise illustrated guide that blends a brief history with a systematic architectural description of the cathedral at Wells. It outlines the building's early medieval origins and its Norman and later Gothic development, then surveys exterior features such as the west front, towers, cloister, and bishop's palace, followed by detailed treatment of interior elements including nave, transepts, choir, chapels, capitals, stained glass, misericords, font, screen, organ, and chapter-house. A closing chapter sketches the diocese and episcopal foundation, while plates, plans, and notes support visitors and students of ecclesiastical architecture.
