Exeter Dissenters Graveyard Exhibition and Series of Talks
St. Nicholas Priory, The Mint, Exeter, Devon, EX4 3BL
The exhibition features text, illustrations and burial artefacts from the Dissenters Graveyard to set out the history of Dissent in England and locally. It describes the reasons for the foundation of the Graveyard. It then presents its history from the beginning in 1748 to the last burial in 1854, then on through periods of neglect to its rescue and restoration from 2014 to now.
A set of illustrated talks on Dissent and Dissenters locally and nationally will be presented in the Great Hall of St Nicholas Priory, Exeter, EX4 3BL, on Saturday 7th September, from 2pm lasting about an hour to an hour and a half.
