The Early English Gothic west front of the Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew, commonly known as Wells Cathedral, built between 1175 and 1490, is an Anglican cathedral in Wells, Somerset. The Early English west front was commenced around 1230 by Thomas Norreys, with building and sculpture continuing for thirty years. Its south-west tower was begun 100 years later and constructed between 1365 and 1395, and the north-west tower between 1425 and 1435, both in the Perpendicular Gothic style to the design of William Wynford.
