THE EXETER ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Exeter Cathedral

Exeter Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral that serves as the seat of the Bishop of Exeter. The inception of the cathedral was in 1275, and the present building was complete by about 1400. You can see the influence of both Norman and Gothic architecture styles in the design throughout the structure. One of the most significant features to look for is the stone vaulted ceiling; it is the longest uninterrupted medieval stone vaulted ceiling in the world. This Grade I listed building is properly known as the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter in Exeter. It remains one of the most important sites in the city, combining centuries of architectural evolution into a single space for visitors to appreciate.

Tuckers Hall

You will notice the distinct architecture of Tuckers Hall, a house located in Exeter, Devon. It is a Grade II* listed building that Pevsner described as 'a remarkable survival'. Beyond its appearance, the building holds a specific civic role as the Guildhall of the Incorporation of Weavers, Fullers and Shearmen. It was built in 1471, making it a rare piece of the city's older fabric that has persisted through the centuries. I always find it interesting how these guild halls keep the memory of old trades alive in the middle of a modern street, reminding us of the people who worked here long before the city grew into what it is today. It is a fine example of how a single building can anchor a neighborhood to its past.

The Custom House

Let me show you the Custom House, a Grade I listed building located in Exeter. Built in the late 17th-century, it holds a special place in history as the first custom house in England built specifically for that purpose. For a long time, it was the center of maritime trade regulation, with HM Customs operating the building until 1989. Today, you can visit it as a visitor attraction to see how the city handled its imports and exports. It is a sturdy piece of architecture that has been officially Grade I listed since 1953. I always find it interesting how these old stone walls once managed the flow of goods into the heart of the city.
