Heritage Open Days: Romanesque to Gothic: A tale of two Cathedrals
Tel: 01392 285983

This outdoor tour looks at the exterior of the Cathedral and considers the successive phases of medieval building work from the twelfth century onwards, starting with a Norman cathedral and culminating in the current decorated Gothic cathedral. The tour discusses why some parts of the Norman structure were retained and what the influences were on the styles of the two cathedrals. What is unique about Exeter Cathedral, and how has its external appearance evolved over nine hundred years? To what extent would the structure we see today be recognisable to those who lived in previous centuries?
Friday 10th Sept, 2.30pm
Duration: 90 minutes (includes visit to the Library and Archives).
