-The Rib (PiPs ) HFF!

-The Rib    (PiPs )  HFF!
The Rib at Wells is a former canonical detached early 15th Century dwelling and is a grade II listed building beacause of its architectural and also it's historical importance as a surviving purpose built canonical house for Wells Cathedral. Originally one of three houses known as the Bishop's Ribs it is the only one to survive and was built using local sandstone. It incorporates a porch built for Canon Walter Osborne between 1464 -1484, that bears the initials W and O.

It was the childhood home of the acclaimed Edwardian novelist Elizabeth Goudge whose father was a vice principal of the theological college but is now in private ownership.

Elizabeth referred to the Rib as the house with the cathedral in the back garden.

HFF Carol I hope you have a pleasant weekend

Ecobird club has replied to Peter Castell club
Thank you very much Peter. I found this feature from some time ago which may interest you. It stated 14th century but I understand this was because the hall featured materials from the 14th Century but the main building was early 15th Century.

Dear Carol, I started to read this and thought, oh, Wells, I wonder if that could have possibly been the home of ... and then you answered my thought.
I must be one of the few remaining fans of Elizabeth Goudge. I literally have just about every book she ever wrote. I read one of her children's books when I was a child myself, and much later found out from her autobiography that it was one of her favorite books.
Thank you so much for sharing these images, wonderful to see such great pictures of the place she grew up and wrote about.
