When we found the signs indicating direction and we passed through the outer wall, we were not disappointed . . Wells Cathedral is not only beautiful but it is HUGE!
The stonework was fabulous on the exterior. The West Front contains one of the largest galleries of mediaeval sculpture in the world.
But it didn't hold a candle to the beauty of the interior of this "Cathedral of Light".
No decor was missed - they even decorated the ceilings
I stood there admiring the architecture of the Nave's unique scissor arches and wondering how we would accomplish the grace and beauty of the stonework with modern technology let alone how the did it during the medieval ages
As we had entered, we were told that we were just in time to view the striking of the hour and should make our way to the clock near the center of the cathedral. So off we went to watch the knights joust as the clock struck 3 pm.
