Exeter Cathedral is rich in its medieval archives, which record not
only its buildings but also its personnel from the thirteenth
century onwards. This volume lists the names of about a thousand
people who served in the Cathedralbetween 1250 and the Reformation
in 1548, including vicars choral, chantry priests and choristers.
It provides their biographies as far as these can be constructed.
In this way the book recreates a medieval religious community
inalmost unparalleled detail, ranging from distinguished musicians
to violent or unsatisfactory men, some of whom were dismissed. It
also traces many of the boys and men back to their places of origin
in Devon and Cornwall, and shows how cathedral clergy often left to
work in churches elsewhere in the South West. It is therefore an
important resource for local history, providing information about
the origins and careers of many clergy of the region's
parishchurches.
