SUMMARY:Lost Buildings of Exeter: Destruction from 1800 to 1899 by Dr Todd 
 Gray
DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;\n\nCome and join us to hear about Dr Todd Gray's new bo
 ok investigating the lost buildings of Exeter between 1800-1899. His engag
 ing and enlightening talk will be followed by book-signing with the author
 . Dr Todd Gray says:\n\n"This research was prompted by the city council gr
 anting me in 2016 the freedom of the city in recognition of work on the hi
 story of buildings. Since then I have wanted to expand on the twentieth-ce
 ntury experience of the loss of historic buildings caused by slum clearanc
 e\, war and commercial development. In comparison very different factors w
 ere responsible for the destruction of nearly as many buildings in the 180
 0s. Modern Exeter faces different challenges and it is imperative that we 
 move forward learning from the experiences of the last two centuries."\n\n
 St Nicholas Priory: Founded by William the Conqueror in 1087\, St Nicholas
  Priory was home to Benedictine monks for over 400 years and is the oldest
  building in Exeter. In 1536\, like other monasteries\, it was closed and 
 the remains became the home of wealthy Tudor merchants.\n\nDirections: St 
 Nicholas Priory is in Mint Lane with walking access from Fore Street or Ba
 rtholomew Street West.\nThe nearest car park is Mary Arches Street (5 mins
 ). Parking at Smythen Street and Harlequin Shopping Centre is also availab
 le. Exeter Central railway station (10 mins). The bus station is a 15-minu
 te walk away with many buses stopping on the High Street (1o mins).\n\nAcc
 ess: Unfortunately\, only the ground floor of our building is wheelchair-a
