Exeter College has occupied a large part of its present site since its foundation in 1314. Its founder, Walter de Stapeldon, was a Devon man who rose from a humble background to become Bishop of Exeter and Treasurer of England under Edward II.One of his main intentions in endowing his new college was to provide an educated clergy for the parishes of his diocese, and, during the first centuries of its existence, Exeter drew its members from the south-western counties, and especially from Devon and Cornwall.

At this time the College, then known as Stapeldon Hall, was a small and relatively poor foundation, consisting of a Rector, a Chaplain and twelve or fourteen Fellows, all in holy orders. Probably from the late fifteenth century, the College offered rooms to a few students. Of this medieval college, all that remains is the building known as Palmer's Tower, due east of the Chapel, which takes its name from a fifteenth-century Rector.

About the Products

Charles Broadhurst was born in Birmingham on 22nd August 1903 but moved with his family to Oxford when he was very young. He did not realise his talent until a footballing injury gave him time to experiment with pencil and paper.

Now 90 years on, and just short of 100 images later, his sons are making his artistry available to the world at large. Not all images will be made available but the expectation is that the list available for purchase will eventually number close to 60.

In both A3 (297 x 420 mm, 11.69 x 16.54 inches, £15) and A4 (210 x 297 mm 8.27 x 11.69 inches, £10) sizes the prints available for sale are taken directly from the original pen and ink drawings, using the latest reprographic techniques.
