Mrs月半Wells Wells, the smallest city in England, is not far from Bath, and the bus is about an hour away. The city is niche enough to find her information at the location. However, in 1245 Bath and the Welsh Quarter merged, and by the 15th century Bath had lost its religious importance because of the presence of the small town Welsh. Until 2018, Wells had a population of only about 12,000, and from the Middle Ages it was the smallest city in England (only towns in the UK that were granted city status by the royal family could be called City). Wells was a city, and the cathedral was almost the only reason. Originally built in the early 8th century, the church was rebuilt in the early 13th century. The church was designed in accordance with the popular arch-vouching style at the time, which was later called the Gothic architecture. Wells Cathedral was the first church in the UK to be Gothic from the foundation to the roof. The eastern side of the choir seats retains 14th-century stained glass. Because of the movement of the 16th century Henry VIII closed the monastery and the two world wars, only three churches in England still retain the original medieval coloured windows (the other two were the Gloucester Cathedral and the Cathedral of York, which Henry III was crowned) But the 12th century Gothic style is just beginning to become popular in France, Wells architects obviously only heard of the arch coupon but have not learned how to build the arch coupon tall, "study" architects "Gothic" Wells Cathedral built a three-layer structure similar to the Roman-style small windows , accidentally recorded the evolution of Gothic style in the UK. The church does not need tickets, there is a counter at the door to accept voluntary fundraising. The church has a free one-hour explanation almost every hour. The grandfather of the volunteer on crutches told the history of the church with a colorful voice, and occasionally caused a burst of laughter.
