About

Are you aged 1418 and curious about history? Join us in the Cathedral Archives for a unique hands-on session exploring the local experience and response to the First and Second World Wars. You will get a behind-the-scenes look at rare archival materials, such as official documents, postcards and letters, and uncover the stories they tell about the Cathedral, and the people of Exeter and Devon, during these tumultuous times.
