Exeter’s multi-coloured history
Who came here? Who lived here? Where in the world did they come from?
Exeter, in south west England, is a city that people often assume has always been White Anglo-Saxon. Our team of community researchers have discovered that's only partly true.
Since its beginning in Roman times, through Saxon and Viking invaders, Medieval Jews and 'Aliens', enslaved Africans and the twentieth century Windrush Generation, Exeter has been, and continues to be, multi-cultural.

Where Butterflies Live is the latest addition. Community Researcher Alexandra 'Sasha' Vertalova wanted to explore Buddhism in Devon and in January 2013 she travelled to Myanmar (Burma).
