Exeter Cathedral
One of England’s most beautiful medieval cathedrals and representing one of the finest examples of decorated Gothic architecture in the country. The cathedral dominates the sict with its two massive Norman towers and its West Front decorated with sculptures of kings, saints and angels. Inside are further treasures: an astrological clock more than 500 years old, the Greta Organ still in position since 1665, the Minstrels Gallery with carvings of images playing 14th century instruments and a 100-metre vault. There is a huge medieval window with 19 full length figures including Sidwel, the local saint and a 15th century wall painting. Around the North and South wall are cushions on the original stone plinths, which depict the history of the cathedral, city and county from Roman times until the present day.
