William Joy
William Joy (fl. 1329 – 1348) was an English master mason, or architect, of the Decorated Gothic style, known for his work on several English cathedrals.
Joy's cathedral work shows influences of Bristol Cathedral, and he may have originated from that area.
== Wells Cathedral ==
William Joy was a colleague of the master mason Thomas Witney, and took over his work at Wells Cathedral in 1329. Joy extended the choir and retrochoir and designed the choir vault. Joy built the scissor arches to prevent the central tower from collapse after cracks appeared in the tower following repairs made after an earthquake in the 13th century.
Several attempts had been made to strengthen the tower, but Joy's unique design has not only held, but decoratively references the Saltire Cross, the cross of St Andrew, the patron of Wells.
