About this quest

 You came to Wells to meet Sinéad, the researcher who believed she’d found proof of lost Celtic script hidden in plain sight. But she’s gone, no replies, no trace. 

Her final letters hinted at five protective symbols and a truth the Church once tried to bury. Following her clues through the city, you begin to fear she didn’t disappear… she was silenced. 

Highlights

     • Explore Vicars’ Close and Wells Cathedral • Decode hidden symbols and medieval carvings • Uncover links between Celtic Christianity and St Cuthbert • Solve a disappearance that may be murder 

The mission: Your story in Wells

 A missing researcher. An erased lineage. Hidden symbols carved in stone. 

When Sinéad uncovers evidence linking her ancestry to a Celtic manuscript traced to Wells, she vanishes. 

Follow her trail through cathedral carvings, heraldic shields and ancient timekeepers to uncover a truth woven into the city’s architecture. Some histories were rewritten. Some were simply hidden.

Did this quest to test and correct it. Apologies to Indie & Aston for directions mess & bandstand & barn clues! And thanks for remarks. City history is interesting. Corrections & story improvements will be carried out over next 2 weeks. After June 1st 26 will be the time to check it out. There's a great Glastonbury treasure hunt which is tried and tested if you're in the area.
