-The Rib (PiPs ) HFF!

-The Rib    (PiPs )  HFF!
The Rib at Wells is a former canonical detached early 15th Century dwelling and is a grade II listed building beacause of its architectural and also it's historical importance as a surviving purpose built canonical house for Wells Cathedral. Originally one of three houses known as the Bishop's Ribs it is the only one to survive and was built using local sandstone. It incorporates a porch built for Canon Walter Osborne between 1464 -1484, that bears the initials W and O.

It was the childhood home of the acclaimed Edwardian novelist Elizabeth Goudge whose father was a vice principal of the theological college but is now in private ownership.

Elizabeth referred to the Rib as the house with the cathedral in the back garden.

A wonderful series of beautifully composed and detailed architectural images Carol. The warm tones of the honey coloured stone in the main images is quite special. Thanks for the interesting historic notes.
