| | Britannia Biographies: Leofric, Bishop of Exeter |
| | This monastery, with its possessions, was now (1050) solemnly assigned to Bishop Leofric, as the chief place of his see, and its conventual church became his cathedral. | | | Leofric was the mid-11th century successor of Bishop Lyfing to the Sees of Crediton and St. Germans (Cornwall). | | | Half-a-dozen books of little value, and "one worthless priest's dress" were all the library and wardrobe that, according to his own statement, Bishop Leofric found in it when he took possession. |

| | Pusey was not at this time accustomed to experience much kindly treatment at the hands of Bishops, and he was filled with thankfulness and joy at the courage and decision of the Bishop of Exeter. | | | The devotion of such a man as Bishop Selwyn the elder, whereby he was led to surrender a 'good career' as a clergyman at home, was regarded even by some estimable Bishops as quite 'inexplicable.' That young ladies who were considered 'serious' should object to theatres and dancing was looked upon as a pardonable eccentricity. | | | He was before all things for maintaining the law of Church and State, and the charges implied that Pusey had administered the Holy Communion in an unconse‚crated building, and without a licence, to persons who might have attended their parish church. |

| | This attack was followed in 1287 by the Bishop of Exeter summoning his clergy to a Synod whose edicts6 sought to protect their flock against the insidious wiles of their Jewish neighbours. | | | This rent was to be spent as follows, 10/- for the Hospital of St John of Exeter and 1/- for the candles of the Church of St Lawrence. | | | And thus the mediaeval Exeter community ceased to exist and its memory was revived in the middle of the 18th century when, in the year 1763, a synagogue was opened in St. Mary Arches Street where it stands to the present day. |
