We also went to see Wells Cathedral

The West Front through the gateway

and on its own.

The Nave - looking West

The Nave looking East showing the 14th century scissor arches inserted to strengthen the tower.

A detail of the Nave ceiling

The Cathedral clock - a 24 hour clock with phases of the moon. The knights on horseback revolve every quarter of an hour and the little seated man up to the right 'kicks' the bell to sound the quarters.

Image

Fan vaulting in the Chapter House.
Image

The Cathedral cat - beautifully colour co=ordinated with the furnishings in the shop.

Paul, excuse my ignorance, but were old churches like this, built before the Reformation, Catholic?

Yes, Torre, ALL churches built before the Reformation were Catholic (as in Roman Catholic) because even the Church of England is a Catholic Church.
