Summary "History of the Cathedral Church of Wells" by Edward A. Freeman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work is a collection of lectures that detail the significance of the Cathedral Church of Wells and its integral role within the broader context of ecclesiastical and local history in England. Freeman analyzes the development of this cathedral, intertwining its architectural and institutional history with the social and political changes in the region. The opening of the text introduces the cathedral as not just an architectural marvel but as the very essence of Wells itself, asserting that the locality’s history is deeply connected to its ecclesiastical heritage. Freeman discusses the unique position of Wells, which evolved around its cathedral, distinguishing it from other cities whose histories are tied to commerce or military significance. He sets the stage for an exploration of the cathedral's early days, the development of its clergy, its relationship with local authorities, and the broader implications of its historical narrative against the backdrop of English ecclesiastic history. Through this detailed examination, Freeman aims to provide a richer understanding of the significance of Wells Cathedral in the English church and community.
