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!

A charming square. I like the geometric detail in the more modern building, matching the towers.
