    The gothic West Front of Wells Cathedral - with c.300 carved figures - in medieval times was painted vibrant colours. Also I learned today of the “Singing Galleries” behind the sculptures: so that trumpets & choirs could play thru apertures, amazing the citizens below. Incrediblepic.twitter.com/hf8ZjQRR5A

        I’d love to see some painted cathedrals happen again.

        I find this fascinating but my wife said she can’t believe it. Is it documented that it was painted such vivid colours or is there physical evidence? I bet it was like painting the forth road bridge keeping it all looking good

        To be honest, I don't believe this - it seems to go against any English aesthetic. I've even stayed at the Swan opposite a few times - just to enjoy the view.

        The evidence and academics suggest otherwise
