This volume chronicles Exeter's colourful past and recalls many of the larger than life characters who have contributed to its fascinating history. From the Roman General Vespasian to the entrepreneurs of the 1750s; from the murder of Precenter Lechlade to the attempted hanging of John Babbacombe Lee; from the medieval builders of Exeter Cathedral to the arrival of Concorde, this book is a well illustrated introduction to the city's past that will appeal to residents and visitors alike. An important feature of the book is a series of walking tours, linked to the text but designed to be used independently of it. These tours show the reader how the history of the city can be read in its existing streets and buildings.
