Within its 246 pages are some 40 poems and nearly 100 poetic riddles.
Earlier this year the Exeter Book was granted UNESCO Memory of the World status, signalling its ‘...
Exeter Chiefs will head into the new Aviva Premiership season with an unblemished record from pre-season after they chalked up a third straight win (16-32) against the Dragons.
A strong second half display from Rob Baxter’s side saw them pull clear of their Welsh rivals, who for at least half of the game, put up a more than creditable fight at Rodney Parade.
In the end, though, the Chiefs had too much in the tank and with in-form winger Olly Woodburn (pictured) helping himself to a hat-trick of tries on the night, it was a satisfying outcome for the Devonians who added...

Rob Baxter says his Exeter Chiefs side must ready themselves for a “full blooded” encounter when they travel to Newport this evening in their final pre-season friendly against the Dragons at Rodney Parade (7:30pm).
Having warmed up with home wins over Scarlets (45-3) and Ulster Rugby (25-19), Baxter is hoping this final engagement will serve as the perfect warm-up for his players ahead of their Aviva Premiership opener at Wasps on Sunday week.
And unlike the two previous games, the Chiefs will travel with a more refined playing squad – similar to that of a normal match-day...
