Having visitors means visiting local places and noticing things you haven’t seen before.
Wells Cathedral with dove related art display. Dogs are allowed in the cathedral which makes a change. Medieval clock with the oldest face in the country. The famous stairs to the Chapter House as seen in many films including Harry Potter. Door from 1290. Ironwork a little later. Stained glass in the east end of the Cathedral. The chained library. The Vicar’s Close – 13C houses built for the Vicars Choral. Mummy swan teaching her cygnets to ring the bell over the moat (round the Bishop’s Palace) in order to get food. Well head with cathedral in the background and roses. One of the original wells in the garden of the Bishop’s Palace, Wells. Siegfried Sassoon’s gravestone in Mells church graveyard. What a homosexual Iraqi Jew was doing there (friend of the family who owned the big house) is anyone’s guess. Memorial in the church by Sir Alfred Munnings to a member of the Horner family (owners of the local estate) who died in the First World War. Memorial stained glass in Mells church. The Royal Crescent in BathEntrance corridor to the New Assembly Rooms Bath. As used in the 1995 adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion. The ballroom in The New Assembly Rooms. Adaptive mirrors in the card room. Designed to reflect the chandelier and the ceiling but not the people playing cards at the tables. Front of The New Assembly Rooms. It was badly bombed in the war and none of the roofs or floors are original. Afternoon tea!
‘Wells, Mells and Bath’ – does sound a bit like a firm of solicitors in an Agatha Christie. I love the door with the fancy ironwork and the steps, although they look like a fall waiting to happen – and that is a reasuringly extensive afternoon tea. Many thanks for sharing…
