As it stood in 1400

What Exeter Cathedral looked like in its prime.

Low, horizontal medieval silhouette in warm honey-coloured and weathered grey local limestone with lead roofs, crenellated parapets and pinnacles. Massive square west towers of simple ashlar rise at the west end; the nave and choir run eastward with continuous multi-ribbed stone vaulting. Facades display Decorated Gothic tracery, large pointed arched windows and a deeply moulded three-portal entrance richly carved with statuary. Flying buttresses and buttressed aisles complete the long monumental outline.
