Exeter Cathedral

On Thursday morning, before storm Emma was due, we went into Exeter on the Park and Ride to visit the Cathedral. Exeter Cathedral dates back 900 years and is one of England's most beautiful medieval cathedrals and one of the finest examples of decorated Gothic architecture in this country. It is most famous for its two Norman towers, impressive west front carvings and the longest unbroken stretch of Gothic vaulting in the world. Parts were rennovated by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1869-70 including the Pilgrim's Pulpitt, and the Choir Stall carvings and canopies.
