Beginning with a general survey of the construction of the cathedral, 1279–1353, which covers topics including the funding of the work, materials, sources of supply and the work force, this is the second volume of Erksine’s edition and translation of the building accounts. Also included in this volume are wages lists, notes on vocabulary, a fold-out plan of the cathedral and indexes.
The Exeter Cathedral Fabric Accounts document the history of Exeter Cathedral during a period when it was being extensively rebuilt by a series of active bishops. They show how the rebuilding was financed and give a detailed account of what was involved in a medieval building project, listing workers' wages, the cost of materials, and they show how building materials were transported to Exeter from Devon and from other parts of England. This informationtells us much not only about the history of Exeter Cathedral and its bishops, but also about the relationship between the Cathedral and the surrounding area, and the economic history of the region. This volume presents the accounts from 1328 to 1353, and Volume One (new series 24) presents the accounts from 1279 to 1326.
