The former Custom House at Exeter was operated by HM Customs to handle the trade of Exeter Quay. The building, which was built in the early 17th-century, has been Grade I listed since 1953. Believed to be the oldest brick building to survive in Exeter, Historic England recorded that the building's "Renaissance-inspired facade and magnificent plasterwork, advanced joinery detail, early use of brick and the centralised double-depth plan are of the first importance in illustrating the arrival of a national or court style to Devon”
