Wells Cathedral

The architectural style of the Cathedral is Gothic (Early English, Decorated, and Perpendicular).  It is moderately sized for an English cathedral. Its broad west front and large central tower are dominant features. It has been called " one of the most beautiful and most poetic of English cathedrals.  Its Gothic architecture is mostly inspired from Early English style of the late 12th to early 13th centuries, lacking the Romanesque work that survives in many other cathedrals.

Some have called it Europe's first truly Gothic structure.  The stonework of its pointed arcades and fluted piers bears pronounced mouldings and carved capitals in a foliate, "stiff-leaf" style.  Its Early English front with 300 sculpted figures has been praised by many. The east end retains much medieval stained glass.
