I am so delighted to see that you are opening some of the houses to the public. My grandmother lived there as a child before her father was snapped up to go to South Carolina. I love Wells Cathedral and have always felt a strong connection, probably due to the family connection. I look forward to looking around the houses.
My grandparents lived in Wells, and we'd stay in their house for a couple of weeks in this lovely city when they went away on their summer hols. Looks like there's been some developments and expansion in the ~60 years since 😕
There's a video on the Wells Cathedral RUclips channel that shows the interior from a year ago -- it shows the poor condition of and damp of the buildings. They were/are trying to repair the buildings: ruclips.net/video/ZT7C5qrVDdc/видео.htmlsi=Vc13KbCOsmgqNLCk
Grade I I'd think they'd it would be mandatory to keep them in top condition. They are utterly gorgeous even in poor condition, can't imagine what they will look like when rehabbed.
In all seriousness, it's ridiculous that this is claimed as the oldest surviving street when there would be a lot more if they didn't deliberately demolish them, or refuse to rebuild the streets destroyed in the war
you should do more research on the monarchy. there is very substantial returns to the country from having them, valued much more than the "grant" they receive from the government.
The monarchy is actually at the heart of funding and raising funding. King Charles has been especially involved with restoration projects (historically correct), and has even founded a school for people to learn the historic trades and crafts necessary to complete and keep historic restorations. Without the money the monarchy brings in, none of that would be possible. I envy you Brits having so much history and a family dedicated to providing public service and encouraging preservation. Do you really think any of that money sifted through politician’s hands would make it to those projects, or early childhood development, or homelessness? Look what they did with the NIH and the postal service.
It looks like Hogwarts and then a bunch of kids walked by in capes.
Cloaks, I believe. More functional, being designed to keep the weather off!

WoW what a fantastic project 😮

Hmmm! Sounds intriguing!
I wonder - could that include come and sing events?
so, some of the cottages are currently occupied?

damp ingress lol
bloodborne fight area
Its a shame that they covered the cobbles in dirt (probably for any horses/carriages)
They should wreck these shabby, old buildings and replace them with modern 1960s adjacent buildings made out of concrete slabs!
Whhooooh yeah!!! Giant morrisons supermarket spot!!!!!

Cut back on paying the monarchy to repair these properties.
