- Wells_Cathedral abstract "The Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew, commonly known as Wells Cathedral, is an Anglican cathedral in Wells, Somerset. The cathedral, dedicated to St Andrew the Apostle, is the seat of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. It is the mother church of the diocese and contains the bishop's throne (cathedra). The present building, built from 1175 to 1490, replaced an earlier church built on the site in 705. It is moderately sized among the medieval cathedrals of England, between those of massive proportion such as Lincoln and York and the smaller cathedrals in Oxford and Carlisle. With its broad west front and large central tower, it is the dominant feature of its small cathedral city and a landmark in the Somerset countryside. Wells has been variously described as \"unquestionably one of the most beautiful\" and as \"the most poetic\" of English cathedrals.The cathedral's architecture presents a harmonious whole which is entirely Gothic and mostly in the Early English Gothic of the late-12th and early-13th centuries. In this respect Wells differs from most other English medieval cathedrals, which have parts in the earlier Romanesque architectural style introduced to Britain by the Normans in the 11th century.Work on the cathedral commenced in about 1175 at the eastern end with the building of the choir. The historian John Harvey considers it to be the first truly Gothic structure in Europe, having broken from the last constraints of Romanesque. The stonework of its pointed arcades and fluted piers is enriched by the complexity of the pronounced mouldings and vitality of the carved capitals in a foliate style known as \"stiff leaf\". Its exterior has an Early English façade displaying more than three hundred sculpted figures, described by Harvey as \"the supreme triumph of the combined plastic arts in England\". The eastern end retains much ancient stained glass, which is rare in England.Unlike the many English cathedrals of monastic foundation, Wells has an exceptional number of surviving secular buildings associated with its chapter of secular canons, such as the Bishop's Palace and the Vicars' Close, a residential street which has remained intact from the 15th century. The cathedral is a Grade I listed building.".
