The excavation in 1971-6 of the remains of the bath-house buried below Exeter Cathedral Close was the most impressive archaeological find ever made in Exeter.

John Allan, formerly Curator of Antiquities at RAMM and now Consultant Archaeologist to the Dean & Chapter of Exeter Cathedral, will spell out the great importance of the building in the story of architecture in Britain. He will explain the layers of archaeology found below the old church of St Mary Major - the Roman civil basilica and forum, followed by the Anglo-Saxon minster and cemetery.

Tickets are available online or from the Royal Albert Memorial Museum reception in person or by phone using a credit or debit card on 01392 265858 during opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm.

Tickets £8.50
