Wells at Christmas

 

A stroll around the smallest city in England, Wells, at Christmas time -

The moat around the Bishop's Palace at dusk.

The moat's famous swans


The other bird common in the boat - Black-headed gull (winter plumage)

And in a quiet corner of the moat -

 - a little egrit

Nearby is the oldest street in Europe - an amazing medieval relic from more than 650 years ago that is still serving its original purpose -

The Vicar's close - providing homes for the cathedral choir.




And speaking of the cathedral - here is the central nave and a few internal details -


Well's cathedral nativity








Then comes the night -



And in the grounds of the Bishop's Palace after dark a sighting of a patronus -


Inside the Bishop's Palace after dark -




The upper banquetting hall ready for feast
