The Cedars, Wells
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 13 May 2004
A refined and elegant design, the work of Thomas Prowse, 1758-61. The builder was Thomas Paty, and the client Charles Tudway, local M.P., mayor and sugar plantation owner. Ionic doorcase and recessed centre and ends. Grade II* listed It has now been swallowed up by Wells Cathedral School. Prowse (c1708-67) was a gentleman-architect, meaning that he had independent means and did not rely on architecture for a living. That did not detract, however, from his completed works, most of which were attractive country houses.
