St Stephen's Church, Exeter

Church in Devon, England

St Stephen's Church is a small church in the centre of Exeter. It has a Saxon crypt but the first mention of the church is in the Domesday Book. Its location (now near the middle of the High Street) was formerly opposite the medieval guildhall.[1] In July 2012 it reopened following a major renovation which cost £1.5 million.[2]
