To the right Mols Coffee House. Built by the Cathedral Authorities to house 'Annuellars', or priests. Annuellars attended to the last wishes of benefactors to the Cathedral. They would conduct duties requested by the deceased, visit and comfort relatives and keep a candle lit in remembrance. It was during the Reformation of the 1540's that these practices were banned and the buildings housing the priests were taken over for other purposes. The Royal Coat of Arms over the front of Mol's was put in place in 1596. It was at this time that the ground floor was leased for use as a customs house The building remained in use as a Customs House until 1660. It became a coffee house in 1726
St Stephens Church (left) may have been built by a wealthy patron for the use of his family. The church was first mentioned in the 1086 Domesday book, although the crypt, unearthed in the 19th century is probably of Saxon origin. In 1658, Cromwell decreed that all churches in Exeter be closed apart from four. St Stephen's drew the short straw and was sold to Toby Allen for £250, to be used as a stable.
Four years later, when the monarchy was restored, St Stephen's was in the process of restoration at a cost of £500 when it was destroyed by fire. In 1664, the people of the parish rebuilt the church, financed by city merchant and alderman, George Potter.

Granada Cathedral, or the Cathedral of the Incarnation, 1561. Unlike most cathedrals in Spain, construction of this cathedral had to await the acquisition of the Nasrid kingdom of Granada from its Muslim rulers in 1492; while its very early plans had Gothic designs, the construction of the church in the main occurred at a time when Spanish Renaissance designs were supplanting the Gothic regnant in Spanish architecture of prior centuries. The cathedral is Gothic in plan and proportion, the details are Renaissance. The groin vaulting is Gothic intersecting arches. The main arches are round with a suggestion of a horseshoe. The five naves are divided by huge pillars of the Corinthian order. Gothic vaults rise on the Renaissance pillars.
