Wells Cathedral is a cathedral in Wells, Somerset, England, the seat of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. It is technically only the second smallest cathedral city in England, since the City of London has a smaller resident population. The wells that the Romans knew, re-dedicated to Saint Andrew, still spring abundantly in the Bishop's garden and fill the moat of the Bishop's Palace, where the famous bell-ringing Mute Swans pull on chains attached below a window to a small bell, for a reward of food. A cathedral is a religious building for worship, specifically of a denomination with an episcopal hierarchy, such as the Roman Catholic, Anglican and some Lutheran churches, which serves as a bishops seat, and thus as the central church of a diocese. ...

Early years

Though it is mostly Gothic in style, there are foundations of even earlier parts of the church that date to the 10th century. The first church was established on the site in 705 by King Ine of Wessex, at the urging of Saint Aldhelm, Bishop of Sherborne, in whose diocese it lay. It was dedicated to Saint Andrew: only some excavated foundations of this first church remain; these can be seen in the cloisters. The baptismal font in the south transept is the oldest surviving part of the cathedral - it dates to c.700 AD.

The present structure was begun under the direction of Bishop Reginald de Bohun, who died in 1191.

The Bishop responsible for the construction was Jocelyn of Wells, a brother of Bishop Hugh II of Lincoln, and one of the Bishops at the signing of Magna Carta. Jocelyn's building campaigns also included the Bishop's Palace, a choristers' school, a grammar school, hospital for travellers and a chapel. He also built a manor at Wookey, near Wells. The master mason designer associated with Jocelyn was Elias of Dereham (died 1246). Jocelyn lived to see the church dedicated, but despite much lobbying of Rome, died before cathedral status was granted in 1245. Masons continued with the enrichment of the West front until about 1260. Jocelin of Wells, also known as Jocelinus Thoteman, (d. ...

By the time the building was finished, including the Chapter House(1306), it already seemed too small for the developing liturgy, in particular the increasingly grand processions. So, a new spate of expansive building was initiated. Bishop John Drokensford started the proceedings with the heightening of the central tower and the beginnings of a dramatic eight-sided Lady Chapel at the far east end, finished by 1326. Thomas of Whitney was the master mason. A chapter house is a building or room attached to a cathedral or collegiate church in which meetings are held. ...

Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury followed, continuing with the eastward extension of the quire and the retro- quire beyond with its forest of pillars. He also built Vicars' Hall and Close, to give the men of the choir a secure place to live, away from the town with all its temptations. He enjoyed an uneasy relationship with the citizens of Wells, partly because of his imposition of taxes, and felt the need to surround his palace with crenellated walls and a moat and drawbridge.

The appointment of William Wynford as master mason in 1365 marked another period of activity. He was one of the foremost architects of his time and apart from Wells was engaged in work for the king at Windsor and at New College Oxford and Winchester Cathedral. Under Bishop John Harewell, who raised money for the project, he built the south-west tower of the West Front and designed the north west, which was built to match in the early 1400s. Inside the building he filled in the early English lancet windows with delicate tracery. Windsor may refer to many places and other things. ...

In the fourteenth century the central piers of the crossing (see plan) were found to be sinking under the weight of the crossing tower, so the famous "scissor arches" (inverted strainer arches that are such a striking feature) were inserted to brace and stabilize the piers as a unit.

The famous Wells clock was probably in place by 1392. The clock is unique because it still has its original medieval face, depicting a pre-Copernican universe with the earth at its centre. When the clock strikes every quarter, jousting knights move around above the clock and the Quarter Jack bangs the quarter hours with his heels. An outside clock opposite Vicars' Hall, placed there just over seventy years after, is connected with the inside mechanism.

Tudors and civil war

When Henry VII came to the throne the cathedral and its surrounding buildings were complete, and looking substantially as they do today. Following the dissolution of the chantries in 1547 and the consequent lack of income, medieval brasses were sold off, and a pulpit was placed in the nave for the first time. The painted stonework was covered with white limewash. Henry VII may refer to: Henry VII, Holy Roman Emperor (c. ...

After the disruptive period of Mary Tudor's reign, Elizabeth I was determined to restore harmony to her church. In Wells, she gave both the Chapter and the Vicars' Choral a new charter in 1591 and a period of stability ensued. This however came to an end with the onset of the civil war and the execution of Charles I. Queen Mary I of England (18 February 1516 – 17 November 1558), also known as Mary Tudor, was Queen of England and Queen of Ireland from 6 July 1553 (de facto) or 19 July 1553 (de jure) until her death. ... hi opooouyuyyyyvfjcxv Elizabeth I (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603) was Queen of England, Queen of France (in name only), and Queen of Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death. ... Charles I (19 November 1600 – 30 January 1649) was King of England, King of Scotland, and King of Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution in 1649. ...

During the fighting a considerable amount of damage was done, to stonework, furniture and windows. The dean at this time was Dr. Walter Ralegh, a nephew of Queen Elizabeth's favourite Sir Walter. So much chaos reigned that any attempt at administration was impossible. Dr. Ralegh was imprisoned after the fall of Bridgwater to the Parliamentarians in 1645, brought back to Wells and confined in the deanery. The next year, following a dispute with his "gaoler" , the dean was stabbed and died. He is buried in an unmarked grave before his stall in the quire.

The Commonwealth period under Oliver Cromwell was a time of indifference towards the fabric of the Cathedral. No dean was appointed after Dr Ralegh, the bishop was in retirement and some clergy were reduced to performing menial tasks or begging on the streets. Thieves made off with lead and moveables. Oliver Cromwell (April 25, 1599–September 3, 1658) was an English military and political leader best known for making England a republic and leading the Commonwealth of England. ...

The Chapter House steps - dating to 1306

On the restoration of Charles II, Robert Creyghtone, who had been his chaplain in exile, was appointed first dean and later bishop in Wells. His magnificent brass lectern, given in thanksgiving, can still be seen in the cathedral. He donated the great west window of the nave at a cost of £140.

Dean Ralph Bathurst was appointed in 1670 when Creyghtone became bishop. Dr. Bathurst was a man of eminence, president of Trinity College Oxford, chaplain to the king, fellow of the Royal Society and one of the foremost scientists of his day. He was a long serving dean and saw four bishops come and go. Restoration of the fabric of the cathedral took place during his tenure.

The saintly bishop Thomas Ken was appointed in 1685, the year of Monmouth's rebellion when puritan soldiers again wrought havoc in the cathedral and turned part of it into a stable. The work of restoration had to start all over again. Thomas Ken (1637 - March 19, 1711), the most eminent of the English non-juring bishops, and one of the fathers of modern English hymnology, was born at Little Berkhampstead, Herts. ...

Ken was imprisoned in the Tower of London for refusing with six others to accept the repeal of the Act of Uniformity. He later refused to take the oath of allegiance to William and Mary because James II had not formally abdicated. He was forced to retire to Frome.

Bishop Kidder who succeeded him was killed during the great storm of 1703 when two chimneystacks in the palace fell on the bishop and his wife, asleep in bed. This same storm wrecked the Eddystone lighthouse and blew in part of the great west window in Wells. The Eddystone Lighthouse is situated some 9 miles (15km) South West of Rame Head Cornwall, England on the treacherous Eddystone Rocks 50°10. ...

Victorian era and restoration

There followed a period of gentle decline and decay with many bishops being more absent than present and several deans appointed from the laity. Consequently a major restoration programme was needed by the middle of the 1800s. Under Dean Goodenough the monuments were removed to the cloisters and 'the great scrape' was instituted in the 1840s when the whitewash was vigorously removed together with most of the remaining medieval paint.

Anthony Salvin, an architect of repute, was in charge of the extensive restoration of the Quire. The wooden galleries were removed and new stalls with stone canopies were placed further back within the line of the arches. The stone screen was pushed outwards in the centre to support a magnificent new organ. Categories: Stub | 1799 births | 1881 deaths ...

Such was the success of the restoration that in the 1900s it was possible to keep a rolling programme of improvement to the fabric going and this strategy has continued.

John Clarke was installed as Dean in September 2004.
