cathedral green exeter,cobbles and grade 1 listed buildings: Mol's Coffee House, No 5, Nos 8, 9 and 9a and No 10 Cathedral Close. This attractive group of three buildings, with a central courtyard, next to the Devon and Exeter Institution, was constructed for the use of the Cathedral Canons and dates from about 1500. It has a medieval hall, which was used for many years as a Law Library. Over the Tudor entrance are the arms of the Chancellor of the Cathedral. The fine hammer beam roof constructed from oak timbers bears some similarity to that of Westminster Hall in London. The two large arches that divide the roof into three are supported by ornamental stone corbels, carved into angels and lions. Some of the internal walls have surviving wall paintings and the hall retains some fine carvings. At the rear is an arched braced roof.
