 Wells, Somerset. Frome Town. Home of AskWhy! Publications, publishers of books by Dr Mike Magee.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Wells is about 20 miles (30km) west of Frome, so is little more than a short car drive, or about an hour by bus, from Frome Market Place, but even little Wells, a third of the size of Frome, is more famous than our town.
The diocese of Wells Cathedral is called the Diocese of Bath and Wells, so, in clerical terms at least, the two main rivals of Frome gang up against their Cinderella neighbour.
Wells is still a posh town compared with Frome, perhaps because it has a steady source of wealth through the thousands of people visiting the town’s central attraction—the cathedral.

Moreover, as all classmarks, as well as a variety of documentary idiosyncrasies, are provided, researchers are well equipped to return to the original documents if they choose.
A "Select Bibliography" is provided as well as early maps for Somerset with Bath inset (1610), Wells (1735), and their own map of Somerset with locations mentioned in the records.

 GO BRITANNIA! TRAVEL GUIDE: Wells - Britannia's Magical History Tour
Known as England's smallest city, Wells, situated at the foot of the Mendip Hills, has charm, interesting shops, snug hotels, decent restaurants and St. Cuthbert's Church, a parish church so impressive that it is often mistaken for a cathedral.
The real jewel of the city is the walled precinct enclosing twelfth century Wells cathedral, the Bishop's Palace, an impressive, moated medieval stronghold which was the residence of the Bishop of the Diocese of Bath and Wells, and Vicar's Close, the residences of the clergy who serve the cathedral.
William Hughes, Chancellor of Wells Cathedral in the early 18th century, was the last-known possessor of the burial cross that was allegedly dug up at Glastonbury Abbey in 1191, and he lived on Vicar's Close.

The ecclesiastical preferment was merely intended to provide a salary not at Henry 's expense; for Fox never saw either Exeter or the diocese of Bath and Wells to which he was translated in 1492.
Meanwhile in 1494 Fox had been translated to Durham, not merely because it was a richer see than Bath and Wells but because of its political importance as a palatine earldom and its position with regard to the Borders and relations with Scotland.
Margaret of Richmond made him one of her executors, and in this capacity as well as in that of chancellor, he had the chief share with Fisher in regulating the foundation of St Johns College and the Lady Margaret professorships and readerships.
