The Cathedral Cat
The Cathedral Cat: Stories from Exeter Cathedral | Nicholas Orme
2 posts
"A cat with wages paid four times a year; a bishop cursed by a witch; and a lady descended from a swan. These are a few of the delightful stories from Exeter Cathedral's past, unearthed by a lifetime of research into the cathedral and its archives by the distinguished scholar Nicholas Orme. We also learn of the man who arranged to have himself displayed as a decaying corpse; the storms, battles and burnings of heretics that amazed the cathedral clergy in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; and the problems of travelling to London in 1562." "The sixteen stories in the collection conclude with John Betjeman's mischievous visit to Exeter in the 1930s and the absent-minded bishop, Lord William Cecil, who allegedly telegraphed to his wife 'Am in Ilfracombe. Why?'."--BOOK JACKET.

@CoffeeNBooks 🙂 💕 Cute kitty on the card you sent. I'd love to have one, but I'm allergic - hives and the whole thing. So, it's dogs (two of them in the past) or fish (currently have a betta fish named Ozzie (see picture). I'll write very soon. #jb #justbecause

Gratuitous photo of Exeter Cathedral as there's no scaffolding on the West Front for once AND the sun was shining.
