‘Church of St Edmunds and Old Houses, Exeter’, English School, about 1840-1890. This watercolour on paper depicts the old houses which surround the Church of St Edmunds in Exeter. The old houses have since been demolished, approximately around 1870.
St Edmunds Church, located near the old Exe Bridge, was first constructed in 870. It is also believed that Exeter’s first printing press was installed in the church in the 1500’s. With the re-development of Exeter’s Exe bridge area, the church was partly demolished, but the excavation of the old Exe Bridge led to the stabilisation of the Church tower, which still remains today.
