About Fencing in Wells
Wells in Somerset is England's smallest cathedral city, taking its name from natural springs near the cathedral that have drawn worshippers since a church was first founded there by King Ine in 704 and the settlement became a seat of the bishopric in 909. The present cathedral was built mostly between 1175 and 1490 and features one of the finest collections of medieval statuary in the country on its famous West Front, along with an early mechanical astronomical clock still keeping time today.
