## Resource

Clara and Miles continue their lively tour through Wells Cathedral, moving beyond the first arrival into the deeper marvels of the building. From the great West Front, with its medieval statues, singing gallery, and mysterious trumpet holes, to the towers, chapels, Jesse Window, astronomical clock, Chapter House, cloisters, grotesques, Vicars’ Close, tombs, Chained Library, and High Parts, this episode explores Wells as a whole world of stone, sound, memory, and delight. Along the way, they discover medieval immersive audio, tiny jousting knights, books literally chained to the furniture, carvings with suspiciously strong opinions, and the continuing possibility that Basil the Cathedral Cat may secretly outrank everyone. It’s a funny, educational, and wonder-filled walk through one of England’s most extraordinary cathedrals as the St. James choir prepares to sing there.
