A minster already existing within the town (and dedicated to and Saint Peter) was used by as his seat, but services were often held out of doors, close to the site of the present cathedral building. In 1107, a nephew of, was appointed to the see, and this was the catalyst for the building of a new cathedral in the style. Its official foundation was in 1133, during Warelwast's time, but it took many more years to complete.

Following the appointment of as bishop in 1258, the building was already recognized as outmoded, and it was rebuilt in the Decorated style, following the example of nearby. However, much of the Norman building was kept, including the two massive square towers and part of the walls. It was constructed entirely of local stone, including. The new cathedral was complete by about 1400, apart from the addition of the and.

Like most English cathedrals, suffered during the, but not as much as it would have done had it been a monastic foundation. Further damage was done during the, when the were destroyed. Following the restoration of, a new was built in the cathedral. Charles II's sister was baptised here in 1644. During the, some refurbishment was carried out.

As a boy, the composer Matthew Locke was trained in the choir of Exeter Cathedral, under Edward Gibbons, the brother of. His name can be found scribed into the stone organ 'screen'. During the, Exeter was one of the targets of a German air offensive against British cities of cultural and historical importance, which became known as the '. On 4 May 1942 an.

The cathedral sustained a direct hit by a large high-explosive bomb on the chapel of St James, completely demolishing it. The muniment room above, three bays of the aisle and two flying buttresses were also destroyed in the blast. The medieval wooden screen opposite the chapel was smashed into many pieces by the blast, but it has been reconstructed and restored. Many of the cathedral's most important artifacts, such as the ancient glass (including the great east window), the misericords, the bishop's throne, the Exeter Book, the ancient charters (of King Athelstan and Edward the Confessor) and other precious documents from the library had been removed in anticipation of such an attack.

The precious effigy of had been protected by sand bags. Subsequent repairs and the clearance of the area around the western end of the building uncovered portions of earlier structures, including remains of the city and of the original Norman cathedral.

Notable features Notable features of the interior include the misericords, the minstrels' gallery, the astronomical clock and the organ. Notable architectural features of the interior include the multi-ribbed ceiling and the compound piers in the nave arcade. The 18 metres (59 ft) high bishop's throne in the was made from Devon oak between 1312 and 1316; the nearby choir stalls were made by in the 1870s. The Great East Window contains much 14th-century glass, and there are over 400 ceiling bosses, one of which depicts the murder of. The bosses can be seen at the peak of the vaulted ceiling, joining the ribs together. Because there is no centre tower, Exeter Cathedral has the longest uninterrupted medieval vaulted ceiling in the world, at about 96 m (315 ft). The Minstrels' Gallery The in the nave dates to around 1360 and is unique in English cathedrals.

Its front is decorated with 12 carved and painted angels playing medieval musical instruments, including the, harp, trumpet, organ, guitar, and cymbals, with two others which are uncertain. Since the above list was compiled in 1921, research among musicologists has revised how some of the instruments are called in modern times. Using revised names, the list should now read from left to right, bagpipe, shawm, harp, Jew's Harp, trumpet, organ, recorder, tambourine, cymbols. Astronomical clock. The astronomical clock The is one of the group of famous 14th- to 16th-century to be found in the West of England. Others are at, and.

The main, lower, dial is the oldest part of the clock, dating from 1484. The 'hand' indicates the time (and the position of the sun in the sky) on a. The numbering consists of two sets of I-XII. The silver ball and inner dial shows both the age of the moon and its phase (using a rotating black shield to indicate the moon's phase). The upper dial, added in 1760, shows the minutes. The Latin phrase Pereunt et Imputantur, a favourite motto for clocks and, was written by the Latin poet.

It is usually translated as 'they perish and are reckoned to our account', referring to the hours that we spend, wisely or not. The original clockwork mechanism, much modified, repaired, and neglected until it was replaced in the early 20th century, can be seen on the floor below. The door below the clock has a round hole near its base. This was cut in the early 17th century to allow entry for the bishop's cat to deter vermin that were attracted to the animal fat used to lubricate the clock mechanism.

Si quis illum inde abstulerit eterne subiaceat maledictioni. (If any one removes this he shall be eternally cursed. So be it!) Curse written by Leofric on some of the books in his library The library began during the episcopate of (1050–72) who presented the cathedral with 66 books, only one of which remains in the library: this is the (Exeter Cathedral Library MS 3501) of Anglo-Saxon poetry. 16 others have survived and are in the, the Bodleian Library. A 10th-century manuscript of 's De Computo and 's De Natura Rerum may have belonged to Leofric also but the earliest record of it is in an inventory of 1327.

The inventory was compiled by the Sub-Dean, William de Braileghe, and 230 titles were listed. Service books were not included and a note at the end mentions many other books in French, English and Latin which were then considered worthless. In 1412-13 a new lectrinum was fitted out for the books by two carpenters working for 40 weeks.

Chammak challo dj remix song free download. Those books in need of repair were repaired and some were fitted with chains. A catalogue of the cathedral's books made in 1506 shows that the library furnished some 90 years earlier had 11 desks for books and records over 530 titles, of which more than a third are service books.

In 1566 the Dean and Chapter presented to Archbishop a manuscript of the Anglo-Saxon Gospels which had been given by Leofric; in 1602 81 manuscripts from the library were presented to Sir for the at Oxford. In 1657 under the Commonwealth the Cathedral was deprived of several of its ancillary buildings, including the reading room of 1412-13. Some books were lost but a large part of them were saved due to the efforts of Dr Robert Vilvaine, who had them transferred to St John's Hospital. At a later date he provided funds to convert the into a library, and the books were brought back. By 1752 it is thought the collection had grown considerably to some 5,000 volumes, to a large extent by benefactions.

In 1761, Dean of Exeter, describes it as having over 6,000 books and some good manuscripts. He describes the work which has been done to repair and list the contents of the manuscripts. At the same time the muniments and records had been cleaned and moved to a suitable muniment room. In 1820 the library was moved from the Lady Chapel to the Chapter House.

In the later 19th century two large collections were received by the Cathedral, and it was necessary to construct a new building to accommodate the whole library. The collections of and were together more than twice the size of the existing library, and was the architect of the new building on the site of the old cloister. During the 20th century the greater part of the library was transferred to rooms in the Bishop's Palace, while the remainder was kept in Pearson's cloister library. Today, there is a good collection of early medical books, part of which came in 1948 from the Exeter Medical Library (founded 1814), and part on permanent loan from the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (1300 volumes, 1965). The most beautiful manuscript in the library is a Psalter (MS.

3508) probably written for the Church of St Helen at in the early 13th century). The earliest printed book now in the library is represented by only a single leaf: this is Cicero's De officiis (Mainz: Fust and Schoeffer, 1465–66).

The South Tower where the 12 bells hang Both of the Cathedral's towers contain bells. The North Tower contains an 80 hundredweight (4 tonne) Bourdon Bell, called Peter. Peter used to swing but it is now only chimed. The South Tower contains the second heaviest peal of 12 bells hung for change ringing in the world, with a tenor weighing 72-2-2 (72 hundredweight, 2 quarters, 2 pounds, or 3684 kg). There are also two semitone bells in addition to the peal of 12. Clergy. – Very revd Jonathan Greener - since November 2017.

Prest's wife and the Stonemason from an 1887 edition of One 19th century author claimed that an 11th-century asserted that, the previous century, had brought together a great collection of holy relics at Exeter Cathedral; sending out emissaries at great expense to the continent to acquire them. Amongst these items were said to be a little of the bush in which the Lord spoke to, and a bit of the candle which the angel of the Lord lit in Christ's tomb. According to the semi-legendary tale, the Protestant martyr, during her brief time of liberty in Exeter before her execution in 1557, met a stonemason repairing the statues at the Cathedral.

She stated that there was no use repairing their noses, since 'within a few days shall all lose their heads'. There is a memorial to her and another Protestant martyr, in the area of Exeter. The memorial was designed by and raised by public subscription in 1909.

Wildlife The tube web spider, notable for its iridescent shiny green fangs, can be found within the outer walls. The walls are made of calcareous stone, which decays from acidic pollution, to form cracks and crevices which the spider and other inhabit.

Music Organists. The 17th-century organ case (enlarged in 1891) The Cathedral organ stands on the ornate medieval screen, preserving the old classical distinction between and. The first organ was built by in 1665. There was a radical rebuild by in 1891, and again by in 1931. The largest pipes, the lower octave of the 32 ft Contra Violone, stand just inside the south. The organ has one of only three stops in the country (the others are in and London's ), housed in the, along with a chorus of. In January 2013 an extensive refurbishment began on the organ, undertaken by Harrison & Harrison.

The work consisted of an overhaul and a re-design of the internal layout of the soundboards and ranks of the organ pipes. In October 2014 the work was completed and the organ was re-assembled, save for the final voicing and tuning of the new instrument. See also.
