| Wells Cathedral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (371 words) |
 | The wells that the Romans knew, rededicated to Saint Andrew, still spring abundantly in the Bishop's garden and fill the moat of the Bishop's Palace, where dwell the famous bell-ringing Mute Swans, trained in the 19th century to pull on chains attached below a window to a small bell, for a reward in food. |
| Two centuries later, the first Bishop of Wells was Athelm (circa 909), who crowned King Athelstan. |
| Athelm and his nephew St Dunstan both became Archbishops of Canterbury. |
