About Fencing in Exeter
Exeter's cathedral sits above a Roman legionary fortress established in the mid first century, with one of the best preserved Roman bath houses in Britain uncovered beneath the cathedral green during excavations in the 1970s. The cathedral itself was founded in 1050 when the bishopric transferred from Crediton, with the present Gothic building completed by around 1400 and still home to the longest uninterrupted vaulted ceiling in the country, alongside an astronomical clock and a rare set of early misericords.
