More about this scene
The Old Deanery on the north side of the Green is a large 15th-century building with an inner courtyard. In 1497 Henry VII stayed here after the Perkin Warbeck uprising. William Turner MD (1508-1568), 'Father of English Botany', cultivated his herb garden behind the battlemented wall while he was Dean of Wells. New windows were installed under Dean Bathurst (1670-1704), a friend of Sir Christopher Wren. The original 15th-century buttresses between the windows and the original battlements remain.
