History of Wells Cathedral, Somerset.

Wells Cathedral, was founded in 705 AD, and although none of the original church remains, a small part of it has been excavated within the confines of the cloisters.

Some of the crypt of the present Cathedral dates from the 10th century, but the main body of the cathedral dates from 1180. Most of the current structure dates from the late 12th and early 13th centuries. It was largely as it is now by its dedication in 1239.

It is worth noting that of the 64 misericords, which date from 1330-1340, twelve of these are unfinished.

Wells Cathedral is unique among British cathedrals, in as much as it still has the complete collection of associated buildings. Such as chapter house, vicars close, cloisters and school.
