Cathedral Close, Exeter

A church was established here by the seventh century when a young Saint Boniface came from Crediton to study.

The gates included one at St Petrocks and the original grand entrance into the yard – Broadgate.

[1] In the centre of the green is a statue of Richard Hooker, a 16th-century Anglican theologian, who was born in Exeter.

There are also a number of other grade 1 listed buildings: Mol's Coffee House, No 5, Nos 8, 9 and 9a and No 10 Cathedral Close.

The grade II listed Royal Clarence Hotel in Cathedral Yard, also overlooks the Green.
