The Bulletin  

ENLARGED EASTER NUMBER  

“The Bulletin,’Wol. 74—No. 3816  

Wednesday, April 1, 1953  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney. N.S.W., Australia, for Transmission by Post as a,Newspaper  

Seppelts  

The Fort-like  

Bishop’s Palace of Wells  

AT the foot of the Mendip Hills in  

Somerset is the ancient city of Wells,  

which contains one of the smallest, but  

one of the most beautiful, of English  

cathedrals. Its West facade with over  

six hundred statues is the finest example  

of Early English (1190-1280) architecture  

in England The buildings round the  

Cathedral, particularly the Vicar’s Close,  

street of medieval houses, and the  

Bishop’s Palace are no less remarkable.  

The Palace and its gardens occupy an  

area of seven acres, protected from former  

enemies by crenellated walls and moat  

fed by wells gushing from secret depths  

below which give the city its name. In  

earlier days the Bishops had sole control  

over the city’s water supply, and for this  

reason they sometimes coerced the  

citizens, but in the fifteenth century  

Bishop Beckington built conduit to the  

market-place for their use. The fortifica-  

tions surrounding the Palace were built  

in the thirteenth century by Bishop Ralph,  

who probably found that the wearing of  

mitre was as uneasy headgear as  

crown. In those medieval days the  

Church was indeed church militant and  

bishops knew the art of war better than  

their prayers.  

The Palace, as it exists today, was  

mainly the work of Bishop Jocelin  

(1206-42) and these ancient buildings in-  

corporate banqueting hall, picture  

gallery and chapel. Guarding the  

entrance is gatehouse with drawbridge  

across the wide moat in which the swans  

are universal source of attraction owing  

to their habit of ringing bell when  

hungry. For nearly hundred years the  

swans at Wells have rung for their  

dinner, ever since the days when the first  

swan was taught to pull the bell-rope by  

the daughter of Victorian Bishop of  

Wells. The original swan is preserved  

in the city museum and its descendants  

have never failed to carry on the tradi-  

tion.
