Full description
Passmore, A. J., 2003, Archaeological Recording at the Former Topsham First School, Majorfield Lane, Exeter (Report - non-specific). SDV344447.
Former Quaker meeting house and Wesleyan Chapel which was developed into a school circa 1852. The former chapel is situated in the north-west corner of the site. The building is basically of 18th century date and was refurbished and its seating capacity increased with the addition of galleries by the Wesleyans in the 19th century. The doorway, in the front elevation, with a spider web fanlight, and the tall arched sash windows are compatible with an 18th century date.
