About Vicars' Close
Vicars' Close, a street in Wells, Somerset, with no way through, is reportedly the oldest residential street in Europe where the original buildings remain intact. John Julius Norwich saw it as "that rarest of survivals", a street planned in the mid-14th century. Built for Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury, it now has 27 Grade I listed houses, down from 44. A chapel and library close the northern end; at the southern end a hall sits over an arched gate, and a walkway across Chain Gate links it to Wells Cathedral. Paved with setts, it is about 140 metres long and narrows by 3 metres, so it looks longer from the cathedral end. The Vicars' Hall was finished in 1348, and a major restoration began in 2024.
