The oldest medieval street in the UK!

Proof that we can build beautiful homes if we want to.

I took clarinet lessons in one of the houses at age 9, was baptized in the chapel at the top end of the Close, and spent 2 years living in Shrewsbury House, one of the Cathedral School's boarding houses. Lots of memories ❤

I love this kind of architecture, it's so pretty

I am German and fell in love with England. I have been there twice and I love especially such things as much as your whole country side. Most brits are lovely people.

The men who build those cottages have achieved a kind of immortality. The product of their craftsmanship and hard work has survived for centuries. Truly remarkable.

I only wish all of the country looked that gorgeous.

[marymoor]

Beautiful, although I wouldn't mind having tour inside one of the cottages. So glad they are listed.

According to the youtube video "Vicar's Close: A medieval street singing through the centuries" they are working towards not only restoring the houses, but also opening some of them to the public for guided tours.

They are trying to secure funding for this. In the video you get a little sneak peak into what they look like right now (not that great, but more spacious than I expected).

Stunning. British cathedrals always had some of my favourite architecture. Wish we still built stuff like this today. Hope to visit one day

How gorgeous! Those cottages are stunning.

I live about 5 minutes walk from here. Wells is officially England’s smallest city. The cottages in Vicar’s Close had their facades ‘modernised’ in the 17th century, although one was restored back to its 14th century appearance in Victorian times.

Wells is one of the most beautiful towns (city) in the UK

I'm Irish, I live in a medieval burgage property beside the castle in my town. It's full of quirks. 👍🇮🇪

Being American where not much old is left, certainly not in my podunk town, this is why I loved visiting Europe and the UK. So many incredible, preserved historical buildings and grounds. I absolutely love it.

You speak clearly and distinctly.
A welcome change on YouTube. 🎉🎉

Undoubtedly one of the most attractive places. The cathedral itself never fails to impress me whenever I have the chance to travel that way.

I am so excited, I knew where it was before I clicked! I have walked on this street. 🥰 I absolutely loved visiting Wells. Thank you for this sweet video.

This is also the town where the majority of the film ' Hot Fuzz ' was filmed. 💯 worth a visit if you are considering it. Beautiful town 😊

I'm Italian, my holiday house dates as far back as the XII century. Basically the place where I spend my holidays started out as just a fortification with towers and a keep, then it started expanding down the cliff it was based on and my house was one of the first constructed outside the castle. It supposedly was a blacksmith's house who had the shop on the ground floor and his quarters upstairs. We recently completely renovated it after my grandmother's death but we kept a bricked arch on the ground floor that is the only remnant of my house's past

Beautiful! It's a shame they don't put much effort into buildings these days.
