The organ was built around 1900 and donated to Storth Chapel, Arnside in 1933 then relocated to St Mary's in 2008.
St Mary's Church, Wreay, is the creation of an extraordinary woman, Sarah Losh. She was her own architect and paid for the cost of this unusual church out of her own pocket, to the tune of £1008.
There has been a church at Wreay [pronounced 'ree-ah'] for 700 years. In 1319 Bishop Halton wrote to give permission for a chaplain 'to attend divine offices' there. In post Reformation times there was a building which served both as chapel and schoolhouse. In 1739, after some improvements, it was consecrated by Bishop Fleming.
By 1840 the old chapel was in disrepair and it was then that Sarah Losh stepped in, donating the land and funds for a new church on condition that she 'should be left unrestricted as to the mode of building it'.
Sarah was born in 1785 into a prominent local family who were acquainted with the leading thinkers of the day from William Wordsworth to George Stephenson. Her studies ranged from the arts to the sciences and in 1817, accompanied by her sister Katharine, she went on the 'Grand Tour' of France, Germany and Italy where her interest in architecture was awakened.
Following the death of their father in 1814, Sarah and Katharine inherited the family estate of Woodside and the industrial interests in the north east. When Katharine died at the age of 46, Sarah never entirely recovered and St Mary's is, in part, a memorial to her beloved sister.
Memorial to John Phelips (d.1834) by Sir Francis Chantrey, 1832. Originally installed at the east end of the south choir aisle but removed from the main body of the cathedral in the late 19th century and relocated to the cloisters.
Wells Cathedral is a magical place to me, having cast a spell over me from the very first time I laid eyes on it as a seven-year old when it started to be a regular break on our journeys south west for childhood holidays. Although it wasn't the first cathedral I'd encountered it was the first I'd seen after developing a more conscious interest in church art and architecture and it seemed to me like something from another world (which in many ways it is). I never forgot the impression it made, its beauties inside and out, and having not visited for nearly three decades I decided getting reacquainted was long overdue.
Described as England's 'Queen amongst cathedrals' it is not as huge as some but it is as beautiful as any, and its setting within the enclosure of a charming cathedral close that constitutes a large part of this modestly-sized but picturesque cathedral-city just adds to its qualities. Its three towers beckon the visitor through the turreted gates that connect the close to the market place and to walk through these and behold the west facade for the first time is an unforgettable experience. The central tower is a beautiful example of Somerset's pinnacled late Gothic masterpieces, and yet it almost disappears, practically forgotten, when one encounters the rich display between the two western towers with their curiously flat parapets. These towers are also mainly 15th century work, but below them, and built two centuries earlier, the facade unfolds like a huge screen covered with niches, most of which remarkably retain their original statues, the largest display of medieval sculpture surviving in England.
Currently visitors are directed to enter via the cloisters on the south side rather than through the surprisingly small, almost apologetic doorways burrowed through the base of this astonishing facade, so it is important to spend some time absorbing it before entering the building. Once inside the effect is rather calmer than the riot of ornamentation on the west front, and the scale a little more intimate and inviting than many cathedral interiors. Most of it is early 13th century and harmonious in style, but it is a later addition that draws the eye looking down the nave, the unique 'scissor arches' installed to brace the crossing in order to stabilise the central tower following signs of movement. The transepts beyond are of the same date and design as the nave, whilst further east the more ornate choir is a little later, being completed in the early 14th century. Beyond this the retrochoir and polygonal Lady Chapel with their delicate pillars and vaults form one of the most delightful and visually satisfying of English medieval interiors.
Furnishings and features of interest are plentiful as one explores the church admiring the beauty of its architecture, with much medieval glass surviving at the east end, the east window and the adjoining clerestories having survived almost intact (more survives in the choir aisles and lady chapel though aside from the traceries most is in a fragmentary state). Many medieval bishops effigies are to be seen (many forming a posthumous 13th century commemoration of earlier Saxon bishops) along with three chantry chapels. In the north transept is the famous medieval astronomical clock with its painted dials and jousting knights marking the quarter hours.
One of the most exquisite features is the chapter house also on the north side, approached via a delightfully timeworn staircase and covered by a particularly attractive vaulted ceiling. It is one of the highlights of the building and shouldn't be missed. The cloisters on the south side are also a delight to wander through and were one of the last major additions to the cathedral.
Wells Cathedral is without a doubt one of the country's greatest treasures and in my mind one of the most beautiful churches anywhere and even its surroundings are a joy to explore. It is sad to think of it closed at present owing to the current lockdown, it deserves to be visited and enjoyed again by all once the present crisis is over.

Surprise this morning: Chaco snake-barked and we thought that he found 2 rattlers mating. We don't really want to encourage a Diamondback nursery in our dog-run, so after removing Chaco from the scene, and making this video, I got my snake stick and bin and lifted the first big one into it. Ops, that was too easy - and there were still 2 tails connected on the ground. Ménage a trois. Lifting the still connected pair with one snake hook prove quite difficult, but all eventually all got collected in the bin and carried far away into the wild. In transport they lost interest in mating and eventually went their 3 different ways. Looking at my in situ video now I can of course see 3 different tails (one rattling).
