Exeter Cathedral is one of the nation’s finest example of decorated gothic architecture and receives 250,000 visitors each year. The circa 1887 Pearson Cloister, built on the site of an earlier medieval cloister, houses the Cathedral’s education facility. In 2014 Ellis and Co completed a programme of roof repairs. With Acanthus Clewes Architects, Ellis and Co re-cast and re-laid the lead roofs, improved rainwater collection, and repaired brick and stone work to the cloister and south range pitched and flat roofs.
