Set foot in Exeter Cathedral

Exeter Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter in Exeter, is an Anglican cathedral in the city of Exeter, Devon, in Southwest England, and the seat of the Bishop of Exeter. The current structure, which was completed in 1400, has numerous significant characteristics, including an early set of misericords, an astronomical clock, and the world's longest unbroken medieval stone vaulted ceiling. Exeter Cathedral has England's longest unbroken vaulted ceiling and offers four public mass services each Sunday. On certain Tuesdays and Saturdays, you may join a roof tour that will take you up to the top for a beautiful perspective of Exeter.

The misericords, minstrels' gallery, astronomical clock, and organ are notable interior elements. The multiribbed ceiling and compound piers in the nave arcade are notable internal architectural characteristics. There is a lot of 14th-century glass in the Great East Window, and there are over 400 ceiling bosses, one of which portrays Thomas Becket's death. The bosses may be seen at the vaulted ceilings pinnacle, connecting the ribs. The nave's minstrels' gallery, which dates from circa 1360, is unique among English cathedrals. Its front is adorned with 12 carved and painted angels playing medieval musical instruments such as the cittern, piper, hautboy, crwth, harp, trumpet, organ, guitar, tambourine, and cymbals, as well as two more whose identities are unknown.
