An ancient tiled floor described as the "finest medieval tile pavement surviving in Devon and Cornwall" is to be uncovered for the first time in decades.

It's part of renovations to the Chapel of St Andrew and St Katharine at Exeter Cathedral.

The room above the Chapel was home to the Cathedral's Exchequer Chamber in the Middle Ages. The floor is thought to have been laid in the late 13th century.
