On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...

Twelve Drummers Drumming

Eleven Pipers Piping

Ten Lords-a-Leaping

Nine Ladies Dancing

Eight Maids-a-Milking

Seven Swans-a-Swimming

Six Geese-a-Laying

Five Gold Rings

Four Colly (Calling) Birds

Three French Hens

Two Turtle Doves

And a Partridge in a Pear Tree!

Wells Cathedral

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew, commonly known as Wells Cathedral, is a Church of England cathedral in Wells, Somerset. The cathedral is dedicated to St Andrew the Apostle and is the seat of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. As with other cathedrals, it is the mother church of the diocese and contains the bishop's throne (cathedra). The present building dates from 1175 to 1490, an earlier church having been built on the site in 705. It is moderately sized among the medieval cathedrals of England, falling between those of massive proportion such as Lincoln and York and the much smaller cathedrals of Oxford and Carlisle. With its broad west front and large central tower, it is the dominant feature of its small cathedral city and a landmark in the Somerset countryside.[9] Wells has been variously described as "unquestionably one of the most beautiful"[10] and as "the most poetic" of English cathedrals.[11]
