Great Hall, Public Wall Top Walk - Wells
The Bishop’s Palace at Wells was created by Bishop Jocelin in the early 13th century with Bishop Burnell’s imposing Great Hall added c.1280. Following the Reformation the Hall fell into disrepair, and further demolished in the 1820’s to create a then fashionable Picturesque garden. The Trust wish to re-establish the wall walk using the ruinous Hall remains, carefully interweaving existing walkways and spiral staircases with carefully detailed new walkways; allowing the building, landscape and city to be full appreciated by visitors.
