As part of the new Cathedral interpretation scheme installed last year, displays in the Cathedral, the Friends’ Cloister Gallery and the Treasures Exhibition, include QR codes providing access to a large collection of new Cathedral web pages.
To make this information accessible to a wider audience, these web pages have now been reorganised. They have been combined with web pages about additional topics, including the conservation work which has been underway here for the last decade, and also with the recently released series of 12 short ‘Did You Know?’ videos.
The previous ‘Our Building’ link in the ribbon at the top of the Cathedral’s website has been replaced by the new link ‘Our Story’ which gives access to the new and revised web pages organised into five groups:
- Exeter Cathedral Through the Ages
- Points of Interest
- Cathedral Treasures
- Did You Know?
- Conservation
Check out these web pages to:
- explore more than 1000 years of history
- uncover a coded message displayed on Judge Dodderidge’s monument
- hear the medieval instruments being played by the angels on the Minstrels’ Gallery
- find out how to read the astronomical clock
- identify the figures in the Great East Window
- read about the Exeter Book and Exon Domesday, and access digitised copies of these important manuscripts
- explore some unusual details and stories presented by some of our young volunteers
- find out how teams of skilled craftspeople ensure that this historic building is repaired and restored
and much, much more.
