Catherine Street
Exeter, England

St Catherine's Chapel and Almshouses in Exeter, England, are the remains of a historic site built in 1457, originally intended to provide housing for thirteen poor but respected individuals. Today, only the ruins of the chapel and almshouses remain, offering a glimpse into the past and the charitable efforts of the time.

These ruins may not be a primary attraction, but they can be discovered by chance while exploring the area, particularly when visiting the nearby cathedral. Although the site is not extensively promoted, it serves as a quiet historical landmark for those passing by.
