BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Old Deanery of Wells Cathedral in Wells, Somerset, England, dates from the 12th century. Along with the gatehouse and boundary walls has been designated as a Grade I listed building. The 12th-century building, on Cathedral Green was largely rebuilt in the late 15th century by Dean Gunthorpe. It was further remodelled and the south range refenestrated by Dean Bathurst in the late 17th century. The two storey south front of the building looking out over the green to the cathedral has six bays which contain 17th century sash windows. It is no longer the home of the Dean and now serves as offices for the Diocese of Bath and Wells and provides a resource centre for Christian Education for the diocese. Extensive rebuilding work since 2000 has included the insertion of an oak staircase and addition of a first floor above the education department Please explore my ebay shop for more antique prints.
