Wells Cathedral is one of the most beautiful of English cathedrals. Nestling at the foot of the Mendip Hills in Somerset it is the centrepiece of the medieval city of Wells, the smallest city in England. Its magnificent West Front still carries almost three hundred medieval statues and the cathedral houses the second oldest mechanical working clock in the world where at every quarter hour four horsemen joust and the same one has had his head cut off for over six hundred years!
The choral tradition in Wells is even older than the present Cathedral, which was the first truly Gothic cathedral, built in England having been started in 1180. There have been choristers singing in this cathedral and its Saxon predecessor for over a thousand years.
