Henry VII's authentic ceremonial sword (not the replica used in today's ceremonies). Given together with the 'Cap of Maintenance' to the city of Exeter as a reward for their loyalty in successfully resisting Perkin Warbeck's rebel army when they besieged Exeter in 1497.

This 14th-century door located at Exeter Cathedral in the UK is believed to be the earliest known example of a cat flap.
Historical records from the medieval period reveal that cats had significant roles within various cathedrals, as they were tasked with keeping the premises free of mice.
These cats were even included on the payroll, with funds allocated to support their food if their mouse-catching performance fell short.
In the financial records of Exeter Cathedral, it is documented that during the 15th century, they had a resident cat designated for mouse control, earning approximately one penny per week (equivalent to thirteen pennies every quarter).
Notably, between 1363 and 1366, the quarterly payment for this feline doubled to twenty-six pence, indicating the possibility that the cathedral temporarily bolstered its mousing efforts by employing a second cat.

Exeter Cathedral, properly known as the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter in Exeter, is an Anglican cathedral and the seat of the Bishop of Exeter, in the city of Exeter, Devon, in South West England.
The present building was complete by about 1400 and has several notable features, including an early set of misericords, an astronomical clock, and the longest uninterrupted medieval stone vaulted ceiling in the world.

The first known match featuring Brazil's national soccer team, 1914. In this game, a team of all-stars from Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo played the British club Exeter City, which was on a South American tour. Both teams took an official photo before the game (Exeter is in stripes).
Brazil won the match 2-0, with their flowing style of soccer prevailing over the more physical (some would say violent) English style.
To this day, fans of Exeter (now in the lowly third tier of English soccer) taunt opponents by singing, "Have you ever played Brazil?"
