Wells is a medieval city nestling on the southern side of the Mendip Hills with the mystic Somerset Levels stretching away to the south and west. The history of Wells goes right back to Roman times when we know that there was a settlement, probably because of the springs that bubble up here. Wells gets its name from these springs which can today be found in the gardens of the Bishop's Palace.

Wells is the smallest city in England with about 12,000 inhabitants. It can call itself a city because of the famous 13th century Cathedral. It remains remarkably unspoilt and has many other historic buildings including the moated Bishop's Palace, Vicars' Close, St Cuthbert's Church and a good local museum

InscriptionTo the religious memory of Mrs. Philip[pa] Bridges, wife of Edward Bridges, Esq. and beloved daughter of Sir George Speke, Knight of the honourable order of the Bath, who died Dec. 6, 1628. Her age 34. Here under buryed lyeth, but lives above, A female Joseph for her father's love: Loving, and lov'd of her beloved mate, His care-away, and stay untohis state; Whom Winter's chill that all things else decays, Nipt off before the Autumn of her days. Seven buds she left behind her, fruits of grace, Are with her gone unto the heav'nly place; Where we, which now do part with grief, with joy shall meet, When God shall raise up us, and tread death under feet.Gravesite Details Buried December 11, 1628. Mistress Philippa wife of Edward Bridges Armigeri. Her mural monument of white marble is on the south wall within the chancel.
