Exeter Cathedral holds a wealth of history within its walls, but it was in the cathedral library that I had the extraordinary opportunity to see and touch a significant piece of Tudor history: a copy of Henry VIII's will!

They don't seem to realise that chantries (establishments or altars for perpetual prayers for the soul of the dead) were still part of Henry VIII's religious outlook. Chantries were only suppressed under Edward VI.
