A bit of history Situated in the Mendip district of Somerset, on the edge of the Mendip Hills, Wells is one of the smallest cities in England. The cathedral that gives Wells its city status dates from the 12th century, and before that there was an earlier church occupying the site from 705 AD. The cathedral isn’t the only historic building in Wells, with other notable architecture including the moated Bishop’s Palace, Vicars’ Close (the oldest residential street in Europe) and St Cuthbert’s Church. Wells has a rich history, with its name originating from the natural springs that can be found in the grounds of the Bishop’s Palace and cathedral. There was a settlement here in Roman times, and Wells is recorded in the Doomsday Book in 1086 as Welle. During the Monmouth Rebellion, the cathedral was attacked by the rebel army, and the last of the Bloody Assizes were held in Wells in September 1685. Wells was a trading centre based on cloth making, however this reduced over the 16th and 17th centuries, although Wells retains its Market Place with lively markets taking place twice a week. Wells is now a popular tourist destination. ©Frankly PM Local information i There are two medical centres serving i Local authority information the town of Wells: District Council – Mendip Wells Health Centre County Council – Somerset Priory Health Park Member of Parliament for Wells: Glastonbury Road James Heappey, Conservative Wells Postcode district – BA5 BA5 1XJ Dialling code – 01749 Tel: 01749 672 137 i Emergency responders Wells City Practice The area of Wells is covered by the Priory Health Park following services: Glastonbury Road Police - Avon and Somerset Constabulary Wells Wells Police Station BA5 1XJ 18 Glastonbury Road Tel: 01749 836 650 Wells i There are two hospitals within five miles BA5 1TL of Fletcher House: Fire - Devon and Somerset West Mendip Community Hospital Wells Fire Station Old Wells Road Burcott Road Glastonbury Wells BA6 8JD BA5 2EF Tel: 01458 836 450 Ambulance - South Western Shepton Mallet Community Hospital Based in Taunton Bucklers Way Old Wells Road i Here are some of the many churches Shepton Mallet in Wells: BA4 4LP Wells Cathedral Tel: 01749 342 931 St Cuthbert’s Church of England Wells Vineyard i There are two dental practices within a Wells United Church mile of Fletcher House: St Joseph and Teresa Catholic Church Wells Dental Access Centre St Thomas’ Church Glastonbury Road Wells i Nearby schools include: BA5 1XJ St Cuthbert’s Church of England Tel: 01749 836 677 Infants School Keward Walk, Wells Northam House Dental Practice Age range: 5-7 15 New Street Wells BA5 2LD Tel: 01749 673 053 St Cuthbert’s Church of England Junior School Keward Avenue, Wells Age range: 7-11 The Blue School Kennion Road, Wells Age range: 11-18 i Local transport There are many bus stops in Wells, the closest stop to Fletcher House is on Glastonbury Road.

  • Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide
    SOMERSET GEOLOGY-A GOOD ROCK GUIDE Hugh Prudden The great unconformity figured by De la Beche WELCOME TO SOMERSET Welcome to green fields, wild flower meadows, farm cider, Cheddar cheese, picturesque villages, wild moorland, peat moors, a spectacular coastline, quiet country lanes…… To which we can add a wealth of geological features. The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.

  • Hydrochemical Studies in Swildon's Hole, Priddy, Somerset
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc., 2007, 24 (2), 121-175 HYDROCHEMICAL STUDIES IN SWILDON’S HOLE, PRIDDY, SOMERSET By R.D. STENNER, D. COOKE, K. GLENTON, A.V. KNIGHTS, M. MacDONALD, F.L. STENNER, L. WILLIAMS, and J. WILLIAMS ABSTRACT A detailed and comprehensive study was made of the hydrochemical properties of the streams flowing through Swildon’s Hole in 1999 and 2000 with additional data being collected in 2002 to permit the inclusion of data from a “normal” dry summer. Measurements were made and water samples were collected in the cave and from the surface streams feeding it. The aim was to measure the concentrations of all ionic species present in the samples in significant levels (accuracy and precision being checked by calculating ion balances). For each sampling trip in the cave it was possible to calculate progressive increments of total hardness and discharge as the stream flowed through the cave. These increments took place as water from the various stream inlets joined the Main Stream. Seasonal changes were assessed in the characteristics of many of the “drip and trickle” inlets. Although many properties showed low variability, data for aggressiveness were particularly instructive. In most inlets beyond Rolling Thunder, pronounced seasonal changes of aggressiveness were found. These changes were consistent with independent observations concerning levels of carbon dioxide in the air in the cave. In addition, all of the inlets beyond Rolling Thunder are contaminated with nitrate, chloride, sodium and potassium, strongly indicating the presence of contamination by human or animal waste. At the six inlets beyond Rolling Thunder as far as Sump I, the presence of faecal bacteria was confirmed.

St. Swithin’s Day, (July 15), a day on which, according to folklore, the weather for a subsequent period is dictated. In popular belief, if it rains on St. Swithin’s Day, it will rain for 40 days, but if it is fair, 40 days of fair weather will follow. St. Swithin was Bishop of Winchester from 852 to 862. At his request he was buried in the churchyard, where rain and the steps of passers by might fall on his grave. According to legend, after his body was moved inside the cathedral on July 15, 971, a great storm ensued. The first textual evidence for the weather prophecy appears to have come from a 13th- or 14th-century entry in a manuscript at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. You can find lots more history about him, but he is perhaps one of the more commonly heard of saints, even if its only the legend about the weather.
