Impressed with Wells Cathedral

Last year’s article about the Bishop’s Palace in Wells, England (July ’14, pg. 56), reminded me of my visit to that city’s Cathedral of St. Andrew.

As a departure from typical Gothic architecture, the cathedral contains an ornate “X” between the apse and nave — the most impressive one I’ve seen in over 40 years of travel.

In my 1973 album, I found a slide I took of the interior of the cathedral. I took it while on a tour of Britain, prior to my abandoning slides in favor of prints.

This was from a bygone era of group travel, since many tours now, unfortunately, have eliminated gems such as Wells because of time limitations.
