Library & Archives In Focus:
“Women’s Work” at Exeter Cathedral

Monday 9 March 2026 | Drop in between 1pm and 3pm | Exeter Cathedral Library & Archives

Hatter, seamstress, blacksmith, glazier, librarian, and Chapter Canon are among the working roles – both “traditional” and more unexpected – occupied by women at the Cathedral over the centuries. Join us at this month’s In Focus pop-up display to find out more.

This is a free event and will take place in the Exeter Cathedral Library & Archives. How to find us >

“Exeter Cathedral is architecture as theatre.”

“A lovely way to spend the afternoon for the whole family.”

“Really lovely, and unexpectedly ‘wow.’”

“I am in a wheelchair, but I could see everything (pretty much!)”

“Well worth the sore neck from time spent looking heavenwards!”

“An oasis of calm…”

“A beautiful choir sang the mass and all the people were friendly and welcoming.”
