This grand cathedral lies in the heart of Exeter and dates back to the 14th century. It has the longest, uninterrupted vaulted ceiling in England which is breathtaking to behold. It also has a 15th century astronomical clock and many other fascinating features. You can take a tour of the cathedral and even climb to the top of one of its towers.

in the Cathedral of Exeter, behind the episcopal throne, there is a model of a keystone in original size and in color. The stone itself is in the middle of the transept.

Cathedral worth seeing
Admission is a bit expensive at £ 7, but there are hourly guided tours that are included in the price. A small brochure will also be distributed in the desired language

The cathedral (bishop's church) in Exeter was dedicated to Saint PETER. Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he was called - together with his brother Andrew - by Jesus Christ to be a "fisher of men". According to Catholic understanding, he is the highest apostle, and the two thousand year long line of popes - currently Francis - are his successors. In statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven" (Chapter 16, Verse 19).
Peter and Paul are also known as the "princes of the apostles"; their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th.
