Exeter Mosque
Exeter Mosque & Cultural Centre is a mosque in the City of Exeter, in Devon, England. History. The mosque's history began in 1976 when 15 York Road was purchased for use as a permanent place for meeting and prayer. Over time, as more space was needed 14 York Road was also purchased. Following a purchase of land from the adjacent school in the late 2000s, work began on a purpose-built mosque for Exeter's Muslim community. The current mosque opened in 2011 following three years of construction work, which cost approximately £1.7 million. In 2018, the  trustees of the mosque faced questions from the media regarding donations received from the cleric Sadiq Al-Ghariani. Following the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings, Exeter Mosque was one of the mosques where people stood guard in solidarity with the Muslim community.
