About this piece

Wells Cathedral’s famous Scissor Arches were built between 1338 and 1348 as an ingenious response to a serious structural problem. The Cathedral’s central tower had developed large cracks as its foundations began to sink, prompting master mason William Joy to devise the extraordinary arches we see today. What was intended as structural reinforcement became one of the Cathedral’s most distinctive architectural features.

Trillium looks directly upwards from beneath the crossing, where three of these great arches meet. From this perspective, their intersecting forms create an almost floral geometry, which inspired the name.

20% of profits from the sale of this artwork will be donated to support the upkeep of Wells Cathedral.
