Exeter undergone more seiges than other town from the inhabitants strong sense They are quick to remind visitor that even William Conqueror, who subdued Saxons, -could not defeat population of Exeter, but had to come to friendly terms with them in 1068. A few years later, William’s nephew, Bishop William Warel- wast, began to rebuild the great cathedral, which stands on a hill. The Exeter Cathedral is an impressive edifice and it domin­ ates the surrounding country­ side. The massive twin towers that Bishop Warelwast erected can be seen miles away. A med­ ieval clock in the cathedral marks the hours, and a min­ strel’s gallery reveals its origin­ al colorings. Outside the cathed­ ral, the Close is formal, quiet and peaceful. Many fine ex­ amples of Exeter’s old architect­ ure can be studied here. Every visitor wants to see Moll’s Coffee House within whose walls there gathered in 1588 a group of- England’s finest seamen to cele-. brate a decisive victory. These Elizabethan seamen were Drake, Raleigh, Frobisher, Hawkins, Gilbert and Grenville, and they met to discuss the magnificent defeat of the Spanish Armada. Exeter had provided and man­ ned three ships for the great fight, and after the victory, the Tudor Queen Elizabeth gave the motto "Semper Fidelis” (Always Faithful). ' Exeter suffered greatly from air raids in the Second World War, but happily many of its finest old buildings survived intact, including the 13 th Cen­ tury Guildhall which claims to be the oldest municipal building in England. This hall has a beautiful timbered roof and its panelled walls show many re­ markable carvings. The mayor’s parlor has an open hearth and recessed windows. On the way to Northenhay, that part of Exeter where re­ mains of the castle that William the Conqueror built still stand, the visitor can also examine the fine old city wall. It is red and massive and was built origin­ ally by the Romans. The visitor can wander into St. Nicholas Priory which has a Norman crypt, and a medieval room and kitchen, and if he wishes to catch something of the atmos­ phere of Elizabethan days he which Wool- our take but that and* as Help Needed Two out of every three sons need Financial help to the cost of serious illness.

Exmouth, on the coast, miles from Exeter. It has sea front where the terracotta colored cliffs look very pictur­ esque against a deep blue sky. Exmouth is known as “Child­ ren's Paradise” for there is a special playground close to the sea-'front and there are rocks and 'pools where the children can shrimp, prawn and catch crabs. Exmouth has a sailing club, and as it is conveniently placed near Exmoor, many kinds of sport can be enjoyed by visitors. Although Exmouth has modern buildings, the town has occupied a -place in English his­ tory from the year 1,001 when Danish pirates invaded it.
