About this Event
Exeter Cathedral, founded in 1050 under Bishop Leofric, is not only an architectural masterpiece. It is also a home to a rich collection of manuscripts and historical artefacts.
Our speaker, Emma Laws, is a librarian at Exeter Cathedral's Library and Archives. In 2024, she gave us a talk about the Exeter Book, a famous collection of medieval poetry, which has been at Exeter Cathedral since Leofric, the first Bishop of Exeter.
In June, she will talk about the history of Exeter Cathedral’s treasures from its foundation to the opening this year of the brand new Friends Cloister Gallery and Treasures Exhibition.
