This card only shows a detail of Wells cathedral. If you google it, you'll see how amazing it is, it has been described as "unquestionably one of the most beautiful" and as "the most poetic" of English cathedrals.

Wells Cathedral (officially the Cathedral of St. Andrew in Wells) is the glory of the small town of Wells in Somerset. Dating primarily from the early 13th century, Wells Cathedral is spectacular in its uniqueness and richness of decoration.
The cathedral boasts a magnificent west front covered in medieval sculptures of saints and kings. The pretty Early Gothic interior is dominated by the love-em-or-hate-em "scissor arches," seen nowhere else. - in: http://www.sacred-destinations.com/england/wells-cathedral
