In Wells, in Somerset, you will find the oldest medieval street in the UK and possibly even Europe… Vicars’ Close dates from 1348 and was built for the ‘Vicars Choral’, the group who served the adjacent Wells Cathedral and sang in the choir. They have recently launched a project called Vicars’ Close: A Medieval Street Singing Through the Centuries to conserve and celebrate the street. As part of that they hope to open up never before seen spaces to the public. . . . . . #medievalhistory #wells #
