説明 | Guildhall Interior.The visible structure of the hall dates to the late 15th century and later. Its walls are of large, finely dressed blocks of the red Permian breccia quarried from the river-cliff at Peamore in Exminster parish, close to the modern M5 motorway. Such stone was also quarried at Heavitree and Wonford, now in the suburbs of Exeter; these quarries became the most popular sources of building stone in the city in the 15th and 16th centuries.The masonry of the windows is of white limestone from Beer, now much repaired. Those on the sides of the hall, in Perpendicular style, are in their original form. The large window in the gable wall, however, was reconstructed entirely in 1772 by Edward Kendall, an Exeter stonemason who carried out various interesting local works in early Gothic Revival. Kendall's work in turn already needed repair by 1848, when another Exeter mason named Simon Rowe replaced portions of the stonework. The glass was added in 1863-4; it shows the names of the city officials of 1834-63, surmounted by the arms of the crown, city and cathedral |
