St Mary Arches Church

St Mary Arches Church, Exeter

St Mary Arches Church is a small church in Exeter, Devon, England, which retains many Norman features. It was a place of worship for the Mayor of Exeter and local merchants during the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries.[1] The Arches part of the name may come from a medieval arched thoroughfare which was located next to the church.[2]

The church is largely made of red sandstone and has been listed as Grade I by English Heritage.[3]
