Description
WELLS
ST5545 CATHEDRAL GREEN 662-1/7/350 (North side) Triple lamp standard adjacent to boundary wall, opposite Wells Museum
GV II
Lamp standard with triple head. c1860, signed Felix Thomas, Weston-super-Mare. Cast-iron on stone base. A cylindrical moulded base rises from and is in part enclosed by a stepped stone base with bevelled top; this carries a lofty slender tapered and banded shaft to a moulded capital, and three overthrow arms to banded cylindrical pendant lamps with wide flared hood, and a hemispherical glass lamp protector. The overthrows are supported on and surmounted by thin wrought-iron scrolls, rising as a crowning pinnacle. The stone base is set against the low boundary wall at the head of the ramp across the west front of the Cathedral. Originally gas-lit, it is identical with the standard in St Cuthbert Street (qv), and appears in a photograph of 1905. A fine example of C19 street furniture. (Scase AJ: Wells, A Pictorial History: plate 146: Gloucester: 1992-).
