About this book
Stonework, chapels and the lives of bishops share the page in Percy Addleshaw's guide to Exeter Cathedral. The handbook connects the building's development with the history of its diocese, including Leofric's move from Crediton to the walled city of Exeter. Its arrangement takes readers from the exterior into the nave, transepts and choir, then extends to the chapter house, cathedral library and nearby civic buildings.
Close descriptions give the guide much of its character. The account of the old clock explains a dial with the earth at its centre, while passages on monuments connect individual memorials with church history and local events. Illustrations and a cathedral plan support the architectural discussion. Readers interested in historic buildings can use the book to understand how particular spaces and objects preserve records of craftsmanship, patronage and worship.
