Thank you for watching another of our videos Debbie. St Nicholas Priory is Exeter's oldest building. Founded by William the Conqueror in 1087, the priory with its extensive grounds was dissolved and partly destroyed during the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII. Rob & Tracy

An early British tribe, the Dumnonii, made Exeter their centre. It was later taken over by the romans who named it Isca Dumnoniorum.
