Wellae

Wellae^[1] (vulgo Wells) est urbs Somersetensis comitatus, in Anglia occidentali sita, et ab anno 909 sedes dioeceseos Bathoniensis et Wellensis (hodie in ecclesia Anglicana), ubi nundinae tenentur ab anno 1180, mercatus autem ab anno 1166.^[2] Nostro tempore hominum fere 12 000 ibi habitant. "Wellas, villam ... pro copia fonticulorum ita ebullentium ita dictam": his verbis etymologiam Anglosaxonicam toponymi Guillelmus Malmesburiensis explanavit.^[1]

Ecclesia Cathedralis Wellensis quam hodie visitatur, sancto Andrea consecrata, inter annos 1175 et 1490 constructa est.
