	Exeter Cathedral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The founding of the cathedral at Exeter, dedicated to Saint Peter, dates from 1050, when the seat of the bishop of Devon and Cornwall was transferred from Crediton because of a fear of sea-raids.
		The new cathedral was complete by about 1400, apart from the addition of the chapter house and chantry chapels.
		Like most English cathedrals, Exeter suffered during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, but not as much as it would have done had it been a monastic foundation.

		Exeter Cathedral Keystones and Carvings: A Catalogue Raisonné of the Medieval Interior Sculptures and their Polychromy was many years in the making by its co-authors Avril Kay Henry (AKH) and Anna Carlton Hulbert (ACH).

		Commissions included such major undertakings as conservation of the sculptures of Exeter Cathedral's main vault, on which she worked from 1976-1982, and of the great Jesse Tree of 1391 painted on the wooden ceiling of St Helen's Church, Abingdon.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Exeter Book
		The “Exeter Book” (Exeter, Cathedral Library, 3501) is the name conventionally given to one of the major collections of Old English poetry, containing about one-sixth of the surviving corpus.
		It has been suggested that both manuscripts were found at Crediton by Leofric, and that Æthelweard was an associate of two of the known patrons of the writer and scholar Ælfric of Eynsham, but the Crediton identification is by no means certain (and in any case leaves the origin of the manuscripts undecided).
		In fact, it is far from certain that the second scribe was responsible for the corrections in Lambeth 149, and the Exeter provenance of the other manuscripts (leaving the Exeter Book aside) proves on examination to be either late or, in one case, non-existent.
