Much later in the 12th Century period, Exeter Cathedral was built entirely of local stone including Purbeck marble, a type of limestone quarried from nearby east Dorset. The cathedral has a minstrels’ gallery, an astronomical clock and the longest uninterrupted, vaulted ceiling in England.
A more modern building houses the Met Office, the home of the UK’s national weather service, which moved its headquarters from Berkshire to Devon in 2004. Many forecasters for around the world are trained here.

The service was originally set up after a passenger vessel was lost off the coast of Anglesey claiming more than 450 lives. In fact the first gale warning service went out in 1961 to coastal stations around the UK and the first forecasts to newspapers in 1879; after the First World War the Met Office became a part of the Air Ministry.
Earlier this year it became part of the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Skills – Vince Cable’s department.
The Met Office is responsible for the Shipping Forecasts broadcast daily on BBC4 and the National Severe Weather Warning Service; flooding and seasonal forecasts are also the work of the Met Office. They also work with the Volcanic Ash Aviation Centre to provide forecasts about ash clouds to aviation; it is also involved in climatic change forecasts.
Sport in the city
Exeter Football Club plays in the third division of the Football League. They are nicknamed the Grecians possibly from their origins, the amalgamation of Exeter United and St Sidwells United. The people from the area of St Sidwells were always known as ‘Greeks’ possibly as St Sidwells is outside the city walls and as in Homer’s Iliad, the Greek forces laid siege to Troy from outside the city walls.
Michael Jackson was made an honorary director in 2002 when he visited the club; Chris Martin of Coldplay and comedian Adrian Edmondson are both fans.
Exeter’s Rugby Union club is known as the Exeter Chiefs and currently play in the top tier of English Rugby Union, the Aviva Premiership. They famously played against the All Blacks way back in 1905 – almost a hundred years ago.
Exeter also has a cricket club which plays in the premier division of the Devon County Cricket league
