Market Square Wells (PiPs x 2) HWW

Captured at Market Square, Wells, Somerset. Wells Cathedral is visible in the background, accessed by way of the arched gateway shown in the picture which is known as Penniless Porch. Built around 1450 by Bishop Thomas Beckington the porch was named for the beggars who plied their trade there.

Best viewed large I think and I have added two PiPs, firstly a close up of the floral displays with swans painted on them, and the second a real one!. The swans at the Bishops Palace in Wells famously ring the bell to be fed!

And I thought you wanted to say "Market Square Walls". So these are Wells walls...in other words ;-)

Thank you Edna. Yes they are Wells walls!! I did put Market Square Walls to begin with - but then thought it was confusing as the walls are mostly not square at all:-)))))

Ecobird ^club has replied to Patrick Brandy ^club

Thank you very much Patrick. The cathedral itself is beautiful and it was nice to take the square on that day as it is normally too busy and has too many cars to get a photo.. Wells does have some lovely old buildings.
