St Luke's Campus

St Luke's is also home to the Children's Health and Exercise Research Centre (CHEREC).

The centre, part of the School of Sport and Health Sciences, was awarded the Queen's Anniversary Prize for higher education in recognition of its eminence in paediatric physiology.

[1] St Luke's suffered a direct hit during a World War II bombing raid on Exeter that destroyed a large part of the original building.

[1] Part of the current campus car park, just to the east of College Avenue, was, from the 16th century to 1818, the site of the Heavitree gallows for Exeter.

[4] The three convicted Bideford "witches" were hanged there on 25 August 1682; their bodies were buried nearby where, presumably, their bones still remain somewhere beneath the car park.
