The city of Exeter was one of the great provincial capitals of late
medieval and early modern England, possessing a range of civic
amenities fully commensurate with its size and importance. Among
the most impressive of these was its highly sophisticated system of
public water supply, including a unique network of underground
passages. Most of these ancient passages still survive today. Water
in the City provides a richly illustrated history of Exeter's
famous underground passages-and of Exeter's system of public water
supply during the medieval and early modern periods. Illustrated
with full colour throughout, Mark Stoyle shows how and why the
passages and aqueducts were originally built, considers the
technologies that were used in their construction, explains how
they were funded and maintained, and reveals the various ways in
which the water fountains were used and abused by the townsfolk.
