Nearly a thousand years of that history is in the Cathedral, with its twin towers, its medieval "West Front that sets off so perfectly a procession through the Close, its monuments to ancient bishops and modern explorers, soldiers and seamen.Yet it is part of the living scene. Its green and pleasant Close, marred only by too many parked cars, is lively with good quality shops in old buildings, a hotel (the first in England to use that title), and the pleasant old homes of the Cathedral clergy. The bishop has his palace in a well-wooded garden under the East Front, and all round the Cathedral modern Exeter bustles past its Tudor Guildhall, parish churches, vintage taverns, notably the White Hart and the Turk's Head, and some of the best i8th century terraces in the West.German bombs did a lot of damage, but in the rebuilding much of the city wall has been exposed. The scars are disappearing, and it is almost impossible now in the Cathedral to see the damage done in the 1942 blitz. The West Front has been cleaned of the grime of centuries so that the screen of medieval figures gleams yellow gold below the magnificent window. Exeter Cathedral is a treasure in its own right, a living, cared-for, appreciated part of the community it serves.
