Wells was the first English cathedral to be built in the new Gothic style imported from France. The first building phase took about 80 years to complete, building from east to west, culminating in the magnificent West Front shown on the postcard below. About 300 of its medieval statues remain, including a theatrical stone backdrop used for feast day processions. Read more about the Wells Cathedral here on its homepage.

I received this postcard from Claire through the Just Postcards Round Robin 73. This came with a stamp of the current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.

Wow. Blogging about the postcards I received is really turning into a real learning experience. Lots more postcards to scan in the days to come. Awesome.
