Reached via a medieval gateway on the south side of Wells Cathedral, these buildings in two opposite and virtually identical rows were the residences of the "Vicars Choral", who have sung in the cathedral since about 1140. In 1348 they were incorporated as a College of Vicars and the houses themselves were completed by 1363. The chimneys were raised and crowned in about 1470. The original windows were replaced in the Georgian era. The buildings are Grade I-listed. According to English Heritage, this is an outstanding early planned street, in which the overall form of the buildings remains substantially unchanged.
