Exeter History

[debris4spike]

As I said I have pottered around historic Exeter last week - so much fun. One place I went into briefly was The Guildhall, which has served the same purpose for over 1,000 years. This building was rebuilt in 1470. One thing I wanted to see what the crest of the guild that I attended the school of ... The Worshipful Company of Coopers. The school my brothers & I attended was The Coopers Company & Coborn School. Tim & I attended the 450th anniversary service in St Pauls back in 1986










The next place I visited was Tuckers Hall. It is rarely open, so I was pleases that it's open morning 7 my morning off coincided. Much 0f the building still survives having been built 1470. Amazingly there was very little damage during the WWII bombing.










I also went to St Olaves Church. Another old building that had actually been rebuilt in the 1370's











The War Memorial for parishoners


And, I popped my head into St Petroc's Church which dates back to the 12th century.
