Doors 289 – Doors from Exeter, Devon, October 2023 – Part VII
Thank you for your patience. Today I complete what has been a marathon sequence of posts of doors photographed during a two-hour doorscursion in Exeter in October 2023. I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing these doors, but am also looking forward to moving on to some other themes and places in the new year.
There are quite a lot of doors in this last selection, which rounds off the walk and picks up a few odds and ends too. Let’s get cracking:
If you have the time, you can read more about these two Tudor buildings here.
Well, that really is it from Exeter for the time being, unless I go back for another doorscursion. Next time I think the idea is to post favourites from the last 12 months, which could be a little challenging. Have a great weekend.
If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s Thursday Doors post.

This is a grand finale to your walk through Exeter, Steve. I love the first doors, although I fear I might end up on the ground if I tried using that boot scraper.
The photo of the black door with the stained-glass panel is excellent.
My favorite is the shop doors under that precarious lintel. I hope they’ve added some support behind that.
Thanks so much for supporting this challenge with you excursions. You’re right about the “favorites” post being difficult. I think Norm meant it to be easy when he started the tradition, but it never is for me.

Fabulous presentations from Exeter.
I love how these doors these past weeks reveal and reflect the great history of the city, from the ruins to the castle gatehouse and the medieval patterned stonework/architecture.
I really like the first door – the plain panelled cream door. For me, it has a wonderful effect. I was unsure for a moment how to decide which way it opened…quite fun, almost like an optical illusion with the lines and angles meeting the door frame.
I like the black door with the carved wood door lintel and stained glass panel. It looks like a warm and welcoming place, well-lived in over the years.
Lots of history in these doors, thank you for this journey Stephen. Have a good one!

Thank you so much Suzette. When I took the pictures on that walk in Exeter, I had no idea it would uncover so much history and interest.
