In this evocative image from the 1990s, a couple strolls beneath the magnificent West Front of Wells Cathedral, bathed in the soft light of a rain-laden day. The seat of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, this iconic structure is a testament to the rich history and architectural grandeur of England's past. The West Front, a masterpiece of Early English Gothic architecture, is adorned with intricate stone carvings depicting various saints and biblical scenes. At the center, the figure of Saint Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland and a prominent apostle, stands tall and proud, his saltire cross held aloft. The image, first published in The Sunday Times in 1990, captures the essence of a bygone era. The couple, huddled under an umbrella, adds a touch of human warmth and intimacy to the grandeur of the cathedral. The raindrops on the camera lens create a subtle, dreamlike effect that further enhances the image's allure. Wells Cathedral, built between the 12th and 15th centuries, is a living testament to the Early English Gothic style. Its intricate stonework, stunning stained glass windows, and soaring vaulted ceilings continue to inspire awe and wonder in visitors from around the world. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring beauty and significance of this magnificent structure.
