Wells features [2]
Market Place has been the focal point of the city for centuries and currently there is a twice weekly market. Penniless Porch and the Bishop's Eye, two medieval gateways enclose Market Place. All the building seen here are listed. There is a commemorative plaque and markings on the pavement showing the distance jumped by Mary Rand, a resident of the City, who achieved a world record in the long jump at the 1964 Olympic Games.
A Roman settlement around three wells that became much more important when the Anglo-Saxon King Ine of Wessex founded a minster church in 704, Wells is the second smallest city in England.
