A father-of-two from Exeter, Henry already had a broad awareness of the charity when he met Westbank’s Head of Carers Services, Andy Hood, at a networking event a few years ago.

Henry says, “I knew I...

The charitable trust behind the project to restore and invigorate an historic house on the outskirts of Exeter are looking for new trustees with specialist skills.

Poltimore House is an 18th century Grade II* listed country house which was owned by the distinguished Bampfylde family for around 500 years. Since it was sold off in 1921, it has variously been a girls’ school, a college for boys, a private hospital, part of the NHS and a retirement home.

Exeter City riding high at the top of League Two

Exeter City battled to a 2-1 victory over Mansfield Town at the One Call Stadium in Sky Bet League Two.

The Grecians went ahead just after the half hour mark when Dean Moxey curled an exquisite effort in with his right foot, before Nicky Law doubled City’s lead in the second half with a close-range finish.

Tyler Walker then pulled a goal back for the home side, but the Grecians fought well to defend their box and hold onto a big three points on the road.

Matt Taylor made just one change to the side that beat Notts County 5-1 last weekend, with the injured Craig...

It’s a sign of the times that even when Rob Baxter carries out a major overhaul of his Exeter Chiefs side, they continue to ooze class in this season’s Gallagher Premiership.

Not exactly the same vintage as their two previous wins against Leicester Tigers and Wasps, this season’s pace-setters maintained their perfect start - recording another five-point haul - as they overcame rivals Sale Sharks in a hard-fought encounter at Sandy Park.

Tries from Santiago Cordero, Jonny Hill, Jack Maunder Tom Lawday and Alex Cuthbert were the key highlights for the Devonians, while...
