Exeter Cathedral Stone Auction
The online auction will take place from Monday 3 June until Sunday 15 September at 5pm
Give a home to a unique piece of Exeter Cathedral’s history by taking part in our online stone auction, with Exeter-based auctioneers, Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood.
Items on offer include a range of beautiful, weather-worn carvings that had to be removed from the Cathedral, as part of an ongoing programme of essential building conservation work. There are handcrafted Cathedral stonework pieces from the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as more recent experimental test carvings created by Exeter Cathedral’s talented stonemasons. This is a unique opportunity to give a home to modern grotesque heads carved from Beer limestone, fragments of Victorian pinnacles, tracery fragments and much more.
The online auction will take place from Monday 3 June until Sunday 15 September at 5pm, with in-person viewing opportunities at Exeter Cathedral from 10-15 September.
All proceeds from the auction will support our 2020s Development Appeal Project which is funding an ambitious project of building conservation, visitor experience improvements and community engagement activities, all designed all designed to make sure we are here for generations to come and welcoming to all.
