St Nicholas Priory’s volunteer team invites you warmly to support their fundraiser!
Fundraiser talk by Chris R, independant researcher in Exeter.
The exceptional impact of the Reverend George Oliver D.D. (1781—1861) on Exeter and its people is little known. This talk gives you an opportunity to acquaint yourself with his most remarkable life. He was a humanitarian, antiquarian, historian and author who lived and worked from what had been the refractory wing of the priory (depicted in the illustration below) between the years 1807—1861.
Tickets £15.00, refreshments included.
