Summary
| Description | Interior of Wells Cathedral, Somerset, England. In 1338, to strengthen the cathedral, low arches topped by inverted arches of similar dimensions were inserted, forming scissors-like structures. These “scissor” arches brace the piers of the crossing on three sides, while the easternmost side is braced by a choir screen. | ||
