Title
The College of Vicars’ Choral, Exeter
Description

‘The College of Vicars’ Choral, Exeter’, 19th Century English School townscape, oil on canvas. The painting depicts a cobbled street lined with the buildings of the college. On the lower right a wheelbarrow, three baskets and a small cart is seen with two figures conversing beside it. On the left a group of four children - two boys, two girls play. Further down the street three women are seen in conversation. In the background stands the Cathedral.

The College of Vicars was constructed during the 14th Century. It educated and saw over the appointments of the clergy in the parishes around Exeter. The many daily masses sung in the chapels of the Cathedral required a backup team of vicars choral. In 1387 the college was built behind the deanery in Kalenderhay. It had a gatehouse, row of houses (left and right) one for each member and a common kitchen and dining hall at the far end. It was demolished between 1850-1900 and the hall ruined in an air raid in 1942.
