Three Exeter Churches During the Reformation : Walking Tour

About

The small priory of St Nicholas, within the city walls of Exeter, was a Roman Catholic religious house for nearly 500 years, until the English Reformation took place in the mid-sixteenth century. Across England Catholic practices were gradually banished and churches became Protestant. Exeter churches were damaged and changed, but adapted to the new religion. St Nicholas Priory on the other hand was largely destroyed and ceased to be a religious building.

This tour will look at the ways in which the Reformation affected three churches in the city - St Nicholas Priory, St Olave's church and Exeter Cathedral.

The tour will take up to two hours, commencing at St Nicholas Priory. There will be a ten minute walk between churches. Tickets can be booked in advance, and a small number will be available on the door before the tours starts.
