Sarah, Curator of West Exe

I'm based at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum.  My job is to work with the community to develop content for this website.  The idea behind the site is to explore a sense of place related to the Exeter wards of St Thomas, Alphngton, Cowick and Exwick - past, present and future.
