History

__________________________________

The Swan Hotel, in Wells, welcomed its first guests
back in 1422, when nine-month-old Henry VI became
king and travellers on horseback needed a
place to rest on their journey.

Wells, although the smallest city in England,
is full of blue plaques to commemorate the
rich history of this quaint location
– The Swan being one of them.
