West front of Wells Cathedral
Wells Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in Wells, Somerset, England, dedicated to Andrew the Apostle. It is the seat of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, whose cathedra it holds as mother church of the Diocese of Bath and Wells. Built as a Roman Catholic cathedral from around 1175 to replace an earlier church on the site since 705, it became an Anglican cathedral when Henry VIII split from Rome. Its Gothic architecture is mostly inspired from Early English style of the late 12th to early 13th centuries. The stonework of its pointed arcades and fluted piers bears pronounced mouldings and carved capitals in a foliate, "stiff-leaf" style. The east end retains much ancient stained glass. Unlike many cathedrals of monastic foundation, Wells has many surviving secular buildings linked to its chapter of secular canons, including the Bishop's Palace and the 15th-century residential Vicars' Close. It is a Grade I listed building. (Full article...)

- Weak oppose i'm questioning the reliability of some of the sources; there's also a date missing and citation needed tag 750h+ 07:02, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

- I add cn tags when doing copyedits of articles to show where they are needed, as some editors get upset when information (even if uncited) is removed. I post requests like this to showcase articles that could be selected for specific dates and give editors enough time to fix them up if they are interested. I did a copyedit of the article to remove promotional language and replaced some cn tags with citations. If others think this article isn't ready, I'm fine with that.
