    I was blessed enough to have sang in residence at Exeter Cathedral a decade ago, with my church choir from Texas. Such a beautiful, inspiring place, and Exeter is a wonderful city. I treasured my time there, and so hope to return.

    My Maternal Grandparents lived in Premier Place and their house was hit by incendiary bombs in the same raid that the HE bomb damaged the Cathedral!
    My sister was born in 1944 in Exeter, myself following in 1948 and my brother in 1950. We lived nearby in St Leonards Rd., until my Father was transferred to Weymouth, a few years later, in the Postal Services.
    I have fond memories of visits to the Cathedral, during return visits to my Gran, and staring up unsteadily at the magnificent statues on the west screen!
    (I had my left leg heavily encased in iron callipers, having survived the polio epidemic.)
    I was fascinated by some of the statues that had had their 'praying hands' knocked off during some religious purge!
    I believe my Policeman Grandfather (named Wise) was a Sidesman at the Cathedral for many years, and was so respected that the Resident Organist (who had recently been transfered to London) returned to play at Granddad's funeral! Regrettably, before i was born!
    Having lived in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe since 1957, but shortly retiring to Uk to be with my children I am looking forward to revisiting this magnificent tribute to God's Holy Prescence among His people!
    A visit to the Cathedral will help restore those who may have doubts as to God's Greatness, Power, Love and Guidance for each of us!

      @@StuartHooper Funny. Exeter City Town Planners destroyed more buildings after the war than the Luftwaffe did on their 19 raids on the city. Intact buildings nowhere near the bomb damage were pulled down to make way for the poisonous concrete & steel structures that ruin most of the city centre today. It was a beautiful city, now it's a cathedral city to failed commerce with little if any charm at all.

    Played in Exeter Cathedral in the l980's with Christian Group The Steve Martin Band had quite an echo in which to play drums in, but it was a good blessed experience. I think it was to do with The Scouts, around 5000 there, if I remember correctly. If you google You Tube Keith Jones, Steve Martin Band - Jesus come to me and Like a Thief you can hear the band's recorded work. God Bless. Psalm 23 from Keith Jones Drummer, Barnstaple North Devon.

      Bullshit @summer rose, I am also born and bred Exeter, have lived away from Exe for 22 years. took my daughter there in November 2019, did not pay a penny. perhaps you are referring to the official tour price which obviously you need to pay for?. To allay your obvious confusion, the cathedral is totally free to enter on your own accord.
      please try to enter again and reply back, you were obviously confused.

    We're architectural records records destroyed as well? Are there photos and sketches to rebuild from or has all been completed? This is a Catholic Cathedral, yes? I'm certain my ancestors were there, attended the church on a regular basis. They were from Devon. I've just got to learn more of this area!
