This new publication, illustrated with specially commissioned photography, draws on archaeology, archives and imagery to illuminate the fascinating history of Exeter Cathedral.
Nine hundred years ago, foundations were dug for a great church in
Exeter which would develop into the beautiful cathedral that still marks
the heart of the city. It is distinctive among English cathedrals for
its twin transept towers, and unbroken vault stretching from the
entrance to the high altar, and the sheer profusion of carving of plants
and animals throughout. Exeter is a heavenly garden in stone, and this
new book, illustrated with specially commissioned photography, draws on
archaeology, archives and imagery to explain what its builders in a
surprisingly cosmopolitan city were trying to tell us about their
understanding of the world, and the realm they envisioned beyond us.
