    Wells Facts – Did you know…

    1. 3 Wells & Big Bells
      The second smallest city in England city (after the City of London) gets its name from 3 wells.
    2. Hands Off!
      The Romans built a settlement around the wells. During the Middle Ages, monks walled off 2 of the wells so the townsfolk couldn’t use them.
    3. Bell Ringing Swans
      In the 1850’s the Bishop’s daughter taught swans living on the palace’s moat, to ring bells in exchange for food. The tradition continues to this day and the campanologist swans are now an integral part of the town’s identity.
    4. Hot Fuzz
      The comedy cop caper starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost was filmed almost entirely in the city where director, Edgar Wright grew up. It also appeared in an episode of Dr Who and The Libertine with Johnny Depp.
    5. Oldest Street
      The city also contains the oldest residential street in Europe, Vicars Close. The close was designed so it tapers by 3 metres at the furthest end to make it appear longer.
    6. War…
      The city’s tranquillity came to an abrupt end on August the 4th, 1642 when it was besieged by Parliamentarians during the English Civil War. The Royalists troops within the city escaped and Cromwell’s men used the cathedral to stable their horses and for firing practise.
    7. What Is It Good For?
      In 1685 the cathedral was once again under attack during the Monmouth Rebellion. Rebels smashed windows, damaged the font and stripped lead from the roof to make bullets.
    8. Clocking On
      The Great Clock in the Cathedral was the oldest continually working mechanical clock in the world. Made 1391, it had to be wound for 1 hour (approx 800 times), 3 times a week. For 90 years this was done by four generations of the Fisher family, but when the last Keeper of the Great Clock retired, it was converted to an electric motor.

    About

    The historic city really is one of the treasures of the South West. It offers great access to explore the best of the county, with sites like Glastonbury Tor and Wookey Hole, plus nearby pretty villages (and welcoming watering holes) to enjoy.

    While it might hold city status, it has something of a village feel, there are events throughout the year that bring the locals together and also some wonderfully unique traditions and quirks that just add to Wells’ charms.

    Leisure

    Glad to be different, it wears its eccentricity with pride, from the bell ringing swans to the Annual Wells Moat Boat Race (Oxford vs Cambridge it ain’t!), there’s much to enjoy.

    The Bishops Palace hosts regular events such as movie nights, live entertainment, murder mystery nights and more. You’ll find plenty of great places to eat and drink, excellent independent shops and a leisure centre with a swimming pool, gym and cycling studio.
