About Wells, Somerset
Wells takes its name from three wells dedicated to Saint Andrew, one in the market place and two within the Bishop’s Palace and cathedral. The population recorded in the 2011 census was only 10,536, (increased to 12,000 by 2018) and with a built-up area of just 3.244 square kilometres, Wells has had city status since medieval times, because of the presence of Wells Cathedral.
