The interior of this relatively small-proportioned building is dominated by the low-springing vault that appears to consist almost entirely of ribs. From 1316 to 1342 the master mason Thomas of Witney, one of the most creative men of his time, was working in Exeter. He was responsible for the completion of the nave, the building of the west front, and the furnishing of the choir. The present building was complete by about 1400, and has several notable features, including an early set of misericords, an astronomical clock and the longest uninterrupted vaulted ceiling in England. The photo shows the west front from 1329-42, with alterations from the mid-14th and 15th centuries. ## Related artworks - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Chantry chapels]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
