Archdeacon's House - 10 Cathedral Close - Exeter, Devon - Doorways of the World on Waymarking.com

An early 17th century oak gate carved with heavily rusticated cubes, shell design etc. at no. 10 Cathedral Close, Exeter.

"The doorway to the courtyard of the Deanery, 10 Cathedral Close has been drawn countless times by artists, photographed by many, and reproduced on a hundred different post cards. The studded door made of Devon oak has a small postern door to allow pedestrian access, without having to swing the heavy weight of the main door open. It is one of a series of decorative oak doors in Exeter, including one at the Guildhall, made around about 1600. Over the archway can be found the coat of arms of Bishop Cotton (1598-1621). The black and white gabled facade facing the Cathedral was restored in the 19th Century."
