“In early 2015, my wife and I moved to the city of Wells in Somerset, England. Despite its reputation as the smallest city in England, Wells feels more like a small town, earning its city status primarily due to the impressive Gothic cathedral dating back to the 12th century, adorned with 300 sculptures on the west facade,” says novelist Vaughn Entwistle.
“Anyone visiting the cathedral is likely to encounter Louis, the cathedral cat. This ginger tom freely roams the medieval cathedral, although he can often be found snoozing in a basket in the gift shop. Louis even has a children’s book inspired by his cathedral adventures, although I doubt he’s into book signings.”
Update:
Louis retired from duties in 2016 and has unfortunately passed away in 2019. He has since been replaced by another cat named Basil, who can most often be found snoozing on the welcome desk.
