James Baker Marriage License

[keithj]

Greetings,
I've attached a marriage license for a James Baker and Elizabeth Broom for a marriage in 1690.
Towards the bottom it says that they are to marry in the Cathedral Church of <somewhere or other>.

Can anyone decipher the <somewhere or other>?.

This Baker family is giving me some frustrations as many of their marriages and burials can't be found and Burke's Colonial Gentry give many tantalising clues but is unfortunately, to some extent, error prone.

Thank you kindly, Keith Jeffery

You could ask the moderator to move it.

It's just come to me as I write this - not thinking I could make out what it was!
It's 'Wells'.
With a very curly loop as the start of the 'W'.

Added: So forget all that stuff about moving your post!

Thank you most kindly for that. I was starting to think of a place called Otherly, but Wells fits much better.
