Building
Built in the Gothic style, but incorporating much of a previous Norman building founded in 1133,
the present cathedral was completed around 1400. Giles Gilbert Scott carried out
refurbishment in the Victorian era but the building was damaged in World War 2 when most of the
stained glass was lost. Subsequent repairs and restoration revealed remains of the original
Roman city and Norman cathedral. Because there is no centre tower, Exeter Cathedral has the
longest uninterrupted vaulted ceiling in England.
