Land of Grecian Glory

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

The first football match known to have taken place at St James’ Park in Exeter was on 6 October 1894. Inspired by the event’s 125-year anniversary Aidan Hamilton traces the history of the land’s ownership, from Lady Anne Clifford’s fight to claim it as her inheritance in the 17th century and use it for charitable means to its purchase by the football club in 1921, concluding with notes on the Club’s fortunes.
