A Stroll Through Exeter

[debris4spike]

Our tour statred at Exeter Cathd=edral, and then we headed down to The Quay ... which in it's day was the #3 port in England, behind London & Hull.

Exeter Cathedral was originally a Norman building, and they left the 2 towers in place when it was rebuilt.

on the left side there is a white slab, called a "touching stone" ... which people could gain absolution on the way to Mass.

Well, my goodness. How about that!

I have walked past that touching stone every time I walk into the city and had never seen it.

It was fascinating to learn about it.

Not quite my home town but only 30 mins away. It's a beautiful place with lots of history. I'm glad you had a nice day.

It is a lovely city, and I am so glad that I live here. Mind you there are whole areas of the West Country that are lovely

Too damp and cold and overcast for me. Ill admire the photos but I could never live in that kind of dreary weather.
