Movies filmed at Wells Cathedral

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Wells Cathedral as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

  • Elizabeth: The Golden Age 2007
  • Jack the Giant Slayer 2013
  • Hot Fuzz 2007
    “Wells Cathedral was digitally painted out of every shot of the cathedral city, as Wright wanted the Church of St Cuthbert to be the centre building for the fictional town of Sandford; however, the Bishop's Palace is identifiable in some shots (and was itself used as the setting for some scenes).” Wikipedia
  • Masters of the Universe 2026
    “Other notable locations include Wells Cathedral, Wookey Hole Caves and the Beer Quarry Caves.” Wikipedia
  • The Pillars of the Earth 2010–
    “The final aerial shot is of modern-day Salisbury with a CGI cathedral combining elements of Salisbury Cathedral and Wells Cathedral, to represent the complete fictional Kingsbridge Cathedral, which were the two cathedrals which inspired Follett during the writing of the novel.” Wikipedia

Named here by Wells Cathedral’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Wells Cathedral, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
