The Cathedral Church of St Mary the Virgin and St Ethelbert the King, established in 1079. Taking its cue from Coventry's blitzed and rebuilt cathedral, several modern artistic elements have been introduced into Hereford Cathedral's fabric. The most impressive of these is certainly Simon Beer's 1992 gilded elliptical corona, suspended above the Crossing. Also worth seeking out are Tom Denny's set of four stained glass lights (installed in 2007 in the Audley Chapel) inspired by the writings of the 17th-century cleric and metaphysical poet Thomas Traherne.
It was founded in the Eign Gate suburb in 1246, and moved to Widemarsh in 1322. Its dissolution took place in 1538 and it was burnt down shortly thereafter. The ruins are surrounded by a rose garden established by the local community in 1964.
Old House
A remarkably well-preserved example of a 17th-century timber-framed building, built in 1621 and used for many purposes over the years, starting life as a butcher's shop and finishing its commercial life in the hands of Lloyds Bank in the late 1920s. Since 1929 it has been a museum.
UK’s widest range of working pumps and engines, most of which are the last working examples of their type. Hands-on exhibits, Heritage Water Park, and a permanent exhibition to Hereford in World War II.
It houses the majority of the paintings and drawings of Brian Hatton.
A 14th-century church, unique in Britain for having an integral galleried cafeteria. There is a rare 17th-century bread shelf on one of its walls. Each Sunday, it provided seven free loaves to be taken by seven of the poorest people of the parish. It was extensively restored in 1996.
