This print by Philippa Lewis showcases the timeless beauty of Vicars Close, located in Wells, Mendip, Somerset. The image captures a mid-14th century terrace of houses with exquisite 15th century chimney shafts that add a touch of medieval charm to this historic street. Vicars Close stands as a testament to the architectural brilliance and craftsmanship of its time. The perfectly aligned row of houses creates an enchanting sight, transporting viewers back to an era long gone. Each house tells its own story through intricate details etched into their walls and windows. The well-preserved chimneys stand tall against the backdrop, serving as proud reminders of the past.
