Vicars Close

Vicars Close

Vicars Close was built over 650 years ago to house the Vicars Choral and it has since been continuously inhabited by their successors. Vicars Close is unique; physically connected to Wells Cathedral and the most complete example of a medieval Close in the UK. It embodies an internationally renowned musical heritage.
The Close is about 460 feet long, and paved with setts. Its width is tapered by 10 feet to make it look longer when viewed from the main entrance nearest the cathedral.
