Descriptions

The Hedgeland model of Exeter was constructed between 1817 and 1824 to record the city as it was during the late 1700s. It is very detailed and is the only record of many buildings and streets which were later demolished. It is one of the earliest surviving models of any town in Britain.

This object is on display at RAMM in the Making History gallery.

  1. Is the Hedgeland Model available to view at the moment at the RAMM? If so, is it possible to take any pictures? I am doing some research on St Petrocks Parish.
    Many Thanks
