Wells Cathedral

We have several favorite English cathedrals, all for different reasons...Durham, Winchester, Gloucester, York...but Wells tops the list, even after a third visit. It's beautiful, it's fun, it's intact, and it has a great story. Another cathedral that is itself saved. My previous blog posts on Wells Cathedral are http://roadeveron.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/wells-cathedral.htmlhttp://roadeveron.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/wells-cathedral-ii.html, and http://roadeveron.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/wells-cathedral-2013.html. Somehow, on our third visit, we were able to pay more attention to the sculptural program, particularly the capitals. So here, without further ado, explanation, or apology, are my favorite pix from Wells. This time.

Beautiful! Don't you wish you knew the explanations about all the carvings? What lessons were to be learned from them? Who were the models for the characters? So interesting...
