'Most Beautiful Thing On Earth' -- The crenellated walls of the Bishop's Palace of Wells Cathedral surrounded by a moat fed by the springs that give the city its name. The Palace has dual gateways and drawbridge and has the appearance of a feudal fortress. Dissension between the clergy and the citizens of Wells, who disliked clerical authority, caused Bishop Ralph to add the fortifications. The oriel windows overlooking the moat date from the 16th century. January 1, 1949.
