• HBRE.PORDSHIRE is an inland shire, on the border of Wales, and partly peopled by Welsh. It is bounded on the north by Shropshire and Worcestershire, on the east by Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, on the south by Monmouthshire aod Gloucestershire, and on the west by Radnorshire, Brecknocksbire, and M:onmouthshire. It is about 40 miles long by 34 miles broad, and it9 arP.a is 838 sq11are miles, or 534,823 acres. It lies between lH 0 4:9' north and .52° 24' north latitude, and between 2° 20' west and 3° 7' west longitude. By the Act of 7 & 8 Victoria, cap. 61, there were added to HerefordshireAcres.

The Wye flows through Hereford and Ross. The Lugg is a feeder of the Wye. The Teme is a feeder of the Severn. Herefordshire belongs mostly to the old red sandstone formation; and the soil is mostly a deep, heavy, red loam, changing to clay or gravel. The minerals include coal to a small extent, limestone, sandstone, and other building stones, which are not much wrought. This shire is great for tillage. It is well known for its breed of Herefordshire oxen, and many horses are bred. Timber is ·much grown, and the oak is good. The orchards yield good cider and perry. Among the crops are wheat, barley, hops, clover, vetches, and turnips. The manufacturing operations of Herefordshire are so small that 40 persons, engaged in the woollen cloth manufacture, include all, except some glovers. Brewing aod malting are on a very small scale, and the carrying establishments are limited. The mechanics are mostly carpenters, masons,· smiths, &c. Coal mining employs 220; stone & lime quarrying, 66; and brickmaking, 148. The canals are the Ledbury and Gloucester canal and the Leominster and Tenbury canal. Except by means of the Wye to Chepstow and the Bristol channel, Herefordshire is wanting in water communication. - DAY ScuooLs :-- ~ ••.•.•••••....••...•.•••...••••••. .

Of Londoners there are 932 in the shire; of Irish only 363; and of Scotch, Lowlanders and Highlanders, only 173. The immigrant population is mostly from the neighbouring shires. The number of blind, in 1851, was 149 (males 91, females 58); of deaf and dumb 94 (males 49, female 45); and of lunatics 91 (males 41, females 50).

The number of acres to each person was, in 1851, 4·6. Some of the Unions are very thinly peopled ; W eobley has 114 persons to a square mile, and Bromyard 121. The number of persons to a square mile was, in 1851, only 138, being one of the most thinly peopled shires in England, and only more than Cumberland, W estmoreland, and North York. The number of farms returned, in 18.51, was 2,534 in the registration County of Hereford, which is smaller than the County proper. 'Only 17 of the farmers employ 20 men and upwards; and only 133, 10 men and upwards. The number of farms above 300 acres was 107. Two were of 1,000 acres, 74 under 5 acres, 143 between 5 and 10 acres, 267 between 10 and 20 acres. The educational · census states the da.y schools and school children in 1851 as follows:- Se olars.

The Silurians held oj.tt against the :f3elgians; but bad to give way to the Romansj under -,vbose sway Herefordshire fell for four hundred years. Of the abode of the Silurians in the land, all that is left are he names of the rivers, as the Wye (Via ()f Spain), Ln g (Liger of Gjlul), 'feme (Tama:r'a of Spain), Leddon, Munnow (Minims of Spain); but it is likely that some of the camps and barrows, commonly thought ~be Welsh, are Iberian. Ab.out the y~ar 73 Julius Frontinus overcame the 6Hurians ...... ~ntl tonj J!.eref.or4shire; and by tJJe Romans jt ',,• ,--' was very thickly peopled. The Silurians seem to have !ost their nationality under the Romans and to have become Romanised. The land was covered with Roman w~yst towns, and villages. W atling-street passed by Brandon and Wigmore to Kenchester, and by way of Kington and Dore to Abergavenny. , .. Many. Roman sites have been identified by coins and retnains, but others are only known by their names. Among the recognisable Roman :roads and ways besides Wlltling-street, are the Ridgewayf Greenway, Stanway, G~rway, Streekway, Barkway, Crossway, Trollway, PortWily, Hearihgway, Whiteway, Holloway, Hurstway, Ridway, Godwa.y, Stradway, Blackway, Joraway, Storridge, Ockeridge, Colridge1 Mintridge, and Awkeridge.

By the construction of this arcl1 the height Df the bridge was considerably reuuced, which has given it an irregular appearance. The city is most pleasantly situated on a gentle accli• vity on the northern bank of the river Wye, and is surrounded by rich and beautiful scenery-the country consisting of fertile, arable, and pasture land, intermingled with hop grounds and orchards. Fine views are obtained of the windings of the river Wye, and over the Welsh hills, which have furnished many subjects for the pencil of landscape painters. Hereford is generally considered to be exceedingly healthy. The principal streets are neat and cleanly in appearance, and contain many very good dwelling-houses and excellent shops. The houses were formerly of wood; but duriug the last century, many have been rebuilt or improved. There h1 still standing in the High-town what is termerl the Old House. 'I'he manufacture of gloves was formerly carried on here extensively; but it has now almost disappeared. The other manufactures are nails, hat10, and flannel; but are only carried on to a very limited extent. The principal trade of Hereford is in cider, hops, wool, timber, malt, oak-bark, and other agricultural produce. These were chiefly conveyed to Bristol and other places by the Hereford and Gloucester canal, but now sent by a branch of the Great We;;teru railway, called the Hereford Ross, and Gloucester line, which was opened on the lst of June, 1855. There are two markets held by charter, vh~., on Wednesdays and Saturdays; and f11irs on the Tuesday cfrer February 2nd, Easter Wednesday, May the 19th, July the 1st, anrl October the 20th; and a great market on the Wednesday following St. Andrew's day. This city was incorporated during the reign of Richard I., 1189; and fresh charters have been granted by succeeding monarchs, and the town considerably improved. The Corporation consists of a Mayor, six Aldermen, and eighteen Councillors. The city returns two members to Parliament. Hereford, like many other cities, is of ancient date, and the precise era of its origin has not been ascertained. It is supposed by Camden to have arisen when the Saxon Heptarchy was at its height, though he immediately afterwards assigns the reign of Euward the Elder as the time of its foundation. It must, however, have been iu existence previous to the )"ear 676 or 680; for, during the reign of Penda King of Mercia, who bad embraced Christianity, a synod was held here, for the purpose of erecting a new see in 1\Iercia, in consequence of which Putta was chosen the first Bishop of Hereford ; and there is every probability that 1t originated eoon after the exit of the •

(HEREFORD.) HEREFORD CITY. 34 POST OFFICE Romans, when Ma~na Castra, the nearest Roman station, was deserted; its name of Hereford,'' the military station at the ford or bridge," is Saxon. Hereford is said to have been called by the Britons Trefawith, from the beech-trees, and Henwith, from the old Roman road. This city, however, whatever was its origin, became the capital of the Mercian or middle English commonwealth, and had a magnificent church, according to Polydore Virgil, as early as the reign ofOtfa, and even previous to the present cathedral being founded by that sovereign, in expiation of the murder of Ethelbert King of the East English. 'fhe erection of this edifice, together with the various gifts made by the multitude that came to visit the tomb of Ethelbert, who was deemed a martyr and worshipped fiS a saint, contributed not a little importance to the city of Hereford. Its progress was equally flourishing under the West Saxon king<;, and, about the time of Athelstan, the city was walled in, as a protection on thoge sides where it was not defended by the river Wye. These walls, now almost extinct, were improved and strengthened at different periods, and probably stand (says Duncumb) on the original foundations. 'l'he circumference thus enclosed was about 2,350 yards, and the gates were six in numberviz., Wye Bridge gate, which stood at the south end of tlae bridge; Eign gate, which was situate on the western side of the town; Widemarsh gate, on the northern ; Friars' gate, on the south-western, Bishop's gate, on the northeastern, and St. Andrew's, now called St. Owen's, on the south-eastern side. The see of Hereford was originally one of the suffragans to the metropolitan see of St. David's, and afterwards became a member of Canterbury. The most conspicuous amongst the public edifices of this city is the cathedral, which, as alr<'ady mentioned, owes its origin to the murder of Ethelbert King of the East Angles, by the Merciau King Offa, whose valuable gifts to the original church, which was dedicated to St. Mary, and which previously occupied the same site, have frequently occasioned him to be considered the founder of the new cathedral, which was erected about tbe year 825, by Milfred a provincial governor under Egbert. Tradition hands down the following as circumstances attending the murder of Ethelbert :-The principles or Offa having been corrupted by the possession of wealth and dominion, he invited Ethelbert to his palace at Sutton Walls, about 9 miles north-east from Hereford, under pretence of giving him his dau~hter in marriage; but, on his arrival, Quendreda the wife of Offa. impelled by the ambition of procuring a new kingdom for her family, obtained the consent of her husband to violate all the ties of honour and hospitality by putting their unfortunate guest to death, which was immediately executed by some partisans in the service of the queen. His body was first privately interred at Marden, but it was soon afterwards removed by Offa to the church at Hereford, where he erected a magnificent tomb to his memory. The murdered prince, who had (while livin~) been considered as possessing various eminent q ualificalions, was after his death regarded as a saint, and many miraculous events were affirmed to have occurred at the place of interment. Milfred being induced to inquire into the truth of these matters, and the resu It of hi:! investigation proving satisfactory, he at length determined to erect a new church of stone on the site of the former, in honour of St. Ethelbert; and as the ample grants made by Milfred were not only augmented by the revenues arising from the donations of Offa, but still farther increased by the numerous offerings made by the pilgrims who flocked in multitudes to the shrine of the murdered king, the edifice v;as soon completed; but no description of its state at that period is supposed to exist. In less than 200 years, however, it appears to have fallen into decay, but was rebuilt by the munificence of Bishop Athelstan, who, in the year 1012, was appointed to this see, over which he presided until his death, which took place in the year 1056, in which year the cathedral was destroyed by fire during the hostile incursion of the Welsh under Gryffyth and the Earl of Chester, nod remained- in ruins till the succession of Robert, surnamed Loting, in the year 1079, when that bishop began the present edijke OJJ U~e olQfleJ of the 4i~·Ja.r.hapel)e1 il) GermRny; but Lozing dying in the year 1095, and leavin~ the cathedral in an unfinished state, his design was afterwards completed by Bishop Raynelm, who was appointed to the see about the year 1096, and who is recorded in the Calendar of Obits to be the founder of this church, probably from the great extent of the worlt erected during his prelacy. This venerable building has, however, been greatly enlarged and beautified by several of the succeeding bishops since its erection 1 and the last alterations of any considerable importance, are of a vf'ry recent date, having been effected since the year 1786, when the tower over the west front gave way, and falling to the ground, destroyed all the parts immediately under it, together with adjoinh1g portions of t.he nave. The west end has since been rebuilt, and the whole cathedral repaired, under the direction of Mr. Wyatt. The general plan of the present venerable edifice is that of a cross, with a smaller transept towards the east end. At the intersection of the nave and transept is a square tower, which had formerly a spire of timber upon it, cased with lead and rising 92 feet above the battle .. ments; but this was taken down durin!r the repairs, in order to relieve the arches of the tower from so much of the superincumbent weight. The great transept presents an irregular appearance, its north end being larger than the south; yet an additional building formerly employed as the treasury, but now used as the chapter house, gives it a symmetrical appearance. The cathedral destroyed by Gryffyth is said to have reached beyond the lines of the present structure, more particularly towards the south·east, where, near the cloisters of the College, the renowned autiquarian 8ilus Taylor discovered, about the year I 050, such stupendous foundations, such capitals and pedestals, such well wrought bases for arches, and such rare carvings and mouldings of friezes, as left little doubt in his mind, but that they formed parts of the church b11ilt by Athelstan. 'l'he exterior parts of the cathedral are very dissimilar in appearance, especially since the recent construction of the front on the west side, the architecture of which is but little in accordance with the style which it pretendi to imitate. Whatever was the cause of this deviation from the ancient character of the building, whether it arose from the want of money to complete the design, or from the want of ability in the architect, the results are. certainly to be regretted, inasmuch as they detract greatly from the sublimity of the original design. The great door, as it now appears, can hardly be compared to anything else than a very ill-formed niche with an obtuse arch, bounded by two buttressas and surmounted by battle-- ments; the great window is in the high pointed style, the centre of which terminates with battlements, having an empty niche. Besides the buttresses above-mentioned, the fu~ade has two five-sided and two common buttresses. The niches over the side door are extremely paltry) the more beautiful front, whose place has been usurped, i-s described by Mr. Duncumb, in his history of Hereford, nearly as follows :-The original west front was carried on in the Sax on sty le as high as the roof of the nave in the centre and of the aisles ou the sides. At the west entrance several series of small Saxon columns, with circular arches intersecting each other, extended horizontally over the whole fa~ade, and were divided from each other by lines or mouldings variously decorated. Under the first or lowest series of arches, the billet ornament prevailed; under the second, the embattled frette; under the third, the nail-head; and under the fourth, the zigzag. The bases, shafts, capitals, and most of the arches were plain; but some of the latter were distinguished by the zigzag, and others had the nail-head ornament, both of which deco• rated other parts of this front. The entrance was under a recessed circular arch supported by five plain pillars on each side, and over the door and side aisles mosaic patterns prevailed in the sculpture. On the ceatre of this front a tower was afterwards constructed in the pointed style; it was raised on long and irregular shafts, awkwardly projecting from the inside of the original walls of the nave, affording an inadequate support, and proving by their construction that the tower itself formed no part of the original building or design. The central window, which was greatly enlarged and altered into the pointed (1Jff11 in tl)e J>cginning' of the reigl} of ljenr)'" yr., waw -

DIRECTORY, 35 HEREFOllD CIT¥. [HEREFORD.] divided horizontally into three parts by stone transoms; and each was again divided perpendicularly by mullions into six lights, terminating above in trefoilnrches. Over the point of the arch was a human face, with foliage expanding on each side in the fqrrn of wings; this served as a corbel to a small ornamented column which rose to the parapet of the tower. On the sides of the window, under cinquefoil arches, were effigies as large as life of St. Paul and Bishop Cantilupe, towards the north; and of St. Peter nnd King Ethelbert, towards the south ; under the feet of each, a quatrefoil was sculptured over a trefoil arch, and long and slender sbafrs, supporting cinquefoil arches, with pediments and pinnacles enriched with crockets, completed this range of sculptured decoration. Above the pinnacle& were two rows of windows, four windows in each row; the upper contained two lights in the lancet form ; the lower was somewhat less simple; a single mullion divided each into two lights as before, and reaching the head, branched off to the sides, forming a trefoil arch over each light, from which an upright was carried to the curve of the window on each side, and completed the design. A border resembling the nailbead crossed the tower horizontally above, between, and below the windows; a similar decoration was also carried down the corners of the tower; above the whole was an embattled parapet, decorated with the trefoil 11rch. Four equare buttresses with Saxon ornaments projected from the sides of the tower·; aRd the extremities flf the front terminated in hexagonal pinnacles, surmounted with crosses; those in the centre reached above the parapet, but those on the sides were lower by one-third part. This tower, which was 80 feet in breadth and 130 feet in height, gave several intimations of its approaching fate, and some attempts were made to prevent it, but the decay had become too general to admit of this being effected. The arches entirely gave way on the evening of Easter Monday, in the year 1786, and the whole mass instantaneously became a heap of ruins. In rebuilding this portion of tbe cathedral the foundatibns were removed more inward, in consequence of wnich the length of the nave was considerably diminished. Nearly .£18,000 were expended upon the new works, and about .£2,000 more were appropriated to the general repair of the central tower and other parts of the fabric; and of these sums .£7,000 were subscribed by the clergy and laity, and the remaining ,£13,000 were charged on the estates of the church. On the north side, the exterior of the nave retains much of its original appearance ; although the parapets, clerestory windows, buttresses, &c., present a modern style of architecture. About the beginning of the sixteenth century, Bishop Booth erected the porch which forms the grand entrance. It is constructed with four clusters of small pillars, supporting the same number of pointed arches, one leading . into the cathedral, and the other three opening into the churchyard. The columns, which are six feet high, rise 12 feet from the level of their capitals to the crown of the arch, makiNg it pointed and lofty. The capitals arc plain and circular, and divided into severallaminc:e, gradually decreasing in their circumference from that which is above. The three principal mouldings of the arch leading into the cathedral, are curiously sculptured with the representations of men and animals. At the south-east angle of this ancient porch is a small circular tower, with a winding staircase, which, reaching above the parapet, t-erminates in pediments ornamented with crockets at the sides, and the beads of animals on the top. Between the greater and lesser transept is a chapel built about the middle of the fifteenth century by Bishop Stanbury, containing two windows under obtuse arches, similar to those on the north and east sides of the smaller transept, on the northern summit of which transept is a low cross. On the JJortb side of this chapel, which is dedicated to Our Lady, now used as a library, are six lancet windows, supported by circular pillars posseB.iing the style of the thirteenth century. The north end of the greater transept, called St. Catherine's Aisle, is now appropriated to the parochial churcb of St. J obn the Baptist. The nave of tbe cathedral is terminated by a plain screen, through which is tbe entrance to the choir, above which is a large and well-toned organ. '!'he cboi0 i~ well proportione«J ond lofty, containiJ)g 50 stalls with ornamented canopies, which are composed of wood and painted a stone colour, and under Lhe seat• are carved various grotesque and ludicrous devices and figures. The altar, which presents an elegant appearance, is approacl1ed by a flight of seven steps. The chapel of Our Lady, which forms the eastern termination, is now used as the library, and contains a valuable collection of books and manuscripts, most of which bear reference to ecclesiastical history ; but one of the greatest curiosities is an ancient map of the world, which was discovered under a pile of lumber some few years ago; it is illuminated with gilt Saxon letters, and the various places appear to be marked by animals, houses, &c.; but the whole design cannot be traced, being so thickly covered with dirt and partly obliterated. The frame in which it is placed is ornamented with foliage in the pointed style, and had formerly shutters to protect it from being injured. "This chapel," says Mr. Gougb, " was probably erected by the lady whose tomb is in its north wall, whose husband, as appears by the arms, was a Bohun, though not an Earl of Hereford." The ancient painting under the arch shows the lady in a nun's veil, as oq the tomb, with a church in her hand, pointing to a chapel at the east end, which she presents to the Virgin on her throne; the secular priests (of Hereford, no doubt) are following her. The effigies of tbe husband, which liea on an adjoining tomb, represents him in cloSEt armour, with the hands clasped on the breast, and a dog at his feat. Over him is a stone canopy, richly sculptured in the pointed style, and in the front of the canopy are two human figures sitting, one holding a globe and a scroll, and the other with the hands clasped as in prayer. Beneath this chapel is a vault or crypt, which, from its having been a place of deposit for the human bones which were disturbed in the repairs of the cathedral, has of Jate years acquired the name of Golgotba. From this chapel is an entrance into Bishop Audley's chapel, which has 8 vaulted roof grained with stone and divided by small ribs into various compartments, the ground of which is painted blue, and the ribs red with gilt edges. In the centre orb is a representation of the Virgin Mary, gilt, aqd surrounded with a glory of the same; the others are decorated with foliage and various appropriate ornaments. The Gothic screen which sepa· rates this chapel from the library, is painted and gilt, to correspond with the ceiling, alld on it nineteen saints and religious persons are represented, placed in compartments or niches under canopies, the whole being well executed in stone, and richly painted. Though many of the sepulchral memorials in this structure were defaced and swept away d11ring the Re-- formation, and others demolished in the time of the Civil Wars, yet those remaining are still numerous; many are, however, concealed from view by the pews ia the north transept, and '' more," sayt Mr. Duncumb, pllnding to the brasses, "were accident~lly sold among the old materials disposed of, after the general repairs in 1786; the last, which in 8 considerable degree mlght have supplied the want of appropriate decorations in the new part of the church, were fortunately r.eseued from the furnace by a friend of the 4rts, and are now placed in the collection of Richard Gough, Esq." Among those monuments that remain, one of the most celebrated is that to the memory of the Bishop Cantelupe, who died in tbe year 1282, and is said to have been the last Englishman who obtained the honour of canonisation, which took place in the year 1310. This tomb, frQm the reputed sanctity of the bishop, was visited by pilgrim11 and travellers from all parts of Europe, and is still regarded with veneration by the Catholics. It is composed of freestone, in the shape of an altar, and is placed under a low stone canopy supported by arches, resting on low ciraular pillars having square capitals. Round this tomb are 14: small full length effigies of knights in armour bearing shields. 1rlatthew of Westminster relates that 163 miracles were performed at this tomb in a abort period; ind~, so great was the reputation which be had obtained, that the suceeeding bishops of Hereford waved their ancient arms, in order to assom& the paternal eoat of Cantilope, which has been continued to &be prejen~ day. In the arches of the wal111 in the pauage on the east side of ibe choir, are altar monuments of various bishops, '

[HEREFORD.] HEREFORD CITY. 36 POST OFFICE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- with their effigies episcopally habited. The faces of all the figares have been much mutilated. On the south side of the cathedral forml'rly stood a chapter house, built in an octallonal form, which was demolished during the Civil Wars. 'fhe Bishop's cloisters, which are appropriated to the purposes of sepulture, and distinguished by the name of Our Lady's Arbour, form a eommunication between the cathedral and the palace, inclosing an area of about lOO ft..>et. The west side of these cloisters was destroved in • the reign of King Edward VI., and a Grammar school erected on the site; but this having the appearance of approaching ruin, was tal<en down about the year 1760; and a large building, partly of brick and partly of stone, was erected by subscription, on the spot, under the arrangement that, in addition to the uses of a school, it should be applied to the trienni1:1l meetings of the three choirs of Hereford, Worcester, and Gloucester, and to other public purposes, in consequence of which it is called the Music room. The Bishop's palace, an ancient building, is pleasantly situate on the northern bank of the river Wye; there is nothing in its outward appear~ ance by any means prepossessing, though mauy of the apartments are fitted up in the most costly manner; the gardens, which occupy a gentle declivity towards the . river, are very extensive. The deanery and prebendal houses, situate nearly opposite the north aisle, exhibit nothing worthy of remark. The college, a venerable stone structure, surrounds a quadrangle of about lOO feet, being appropriated to the uses of the vicars·chorul; und btsides the apartments for the vicars, it contains 11 l'lpacious common hall, small chapel, and library, the two latter of which are, however, in a state of dilapidation; this college appears to have been built about the time of Bishop Stanbury, previous to wliich period the vicars-choral had their residence in Castle-street. Previous to the year 1791, the cathedral yard was used as the burial-ground for all the parishes in the city, and for many of the suburban parishes; but now the city parishes have each provided distinct places of interment. The present members of the cathedral of Hereford are, a bishop, dean, two archdeacons, six residentiary canons including the dean, a lecturer, a chancellor of the diocese, . a chancellc.lr of the cathedral, a treasurer, a sub-treasurer, a precentor, 28 prebendat·ies, a first and second m1:1ster of the Grammar school, a chapter clerk, twelve vicars-ehoral, being priests, including a custos, an organist, seven choristers, a verger, and twQ sextons. The dean and residentiary canons constitute the chapter. With the exception of eight parishes, which form part of the bh,hopric of St. David's, the episcopal jurisdiction of Hereford extends over the whole count.y; it also includes a very consider· able portion of Shropshire, four parishes in Monmouthshire, eight in Radnorshire, six in Montgomerysbire, and 21 in Worcestershire. .: About the middle of the eleventh century, during the reign of Edward the Confessor, Gryffith, a Welsh sovereign, after conquering the English forces under the command of Ranulph (the governor of Hereford, who had been induced to quit the city and give battle to the Welsh), entered Hereford, which immediately became a scene of plunder and slaughter. The principal inhabitants fled to the cathedral for protcctiou ;\ but the entrance being forced, a dreadful carnage ensued, and the church was pillaged of its riches, and being set on fire, the flames communicated with the city, the greatest part of which was reduced to ashes; and aecording to tradition, nearly 500 of Earl Rauulph's men were slain, and the "Britons returned home with many worthy prisoners, great triumph, aud rich spoils; leaving nothing behind them but blood and ashes, and the walls rased to the ground." Edward, who was thl"n at Glouw cester, immediately collected an army, the command of which he entrusted to Harold, son of Earl Godwin, who, advancing into Wales, obliged the late successful invaders to sue for peace. H arold, soon afterwards return in~ to Hereford, fortified it (according to Floriacensis) with a broad and high rampart. Some writers also ascribe the rebuilding of its walls and fortifications to Harold, who is likewise ~aid to have built the castle; but as writers have differed respecting the origin of this castle, we shall insert the following e~tract from th6 colleotions Qf Mr. Dun· cumb, whose observations respecting it are particularly pertinent:-" When Harold rebuilt the walls, it seems highly probable that he founded the castle for the further defence of the town; yet on this point writers are not fu11y agreed. It is, however, well known that the policy of Edward the Confessor induced him, in the early part of his rei~n, to fortify strongly places of consequence, and especially those most accessible or advantageous to his enemies-which was preci~ely the situation of Hereford, from its vicinity to Wales. But Grafton writes ' that Edward the Elder, son of Alured, in the eighth year of his reign (DOS) built a strong castle at Hereford;' aud a manuscript in the Harleian library mentions from Hol· Jinshed, that Griffith king of Wales wasted a great part of Herefordshire, against whom the men of that county and Normans out of the castle of Hereford went; but Griltith obtained the victory, slaying many, and taking a great prey." The castle of Hereford is thus described by Leland :- "The castle standeth on the left ripe of Wye river, and a little beneath the bridge, and is strongly ditched ubi non defendltur fiumine. The walles of 1t be high and strange, and full of great toweres; it bath been one of the largest, fayrest, and strongest castles in England. By the side of this ditch arose a spring, which super~ stition consecrated to St. Ethdbert." This is situate on the north side of the western wal'd, and retains a degree of reputation to the present day. The casUe is now almost demolished. The only remnant being that of a fragment at the south-west corner, now converted into a dwelling. There is every probability that this fortress was never restored after the siege in the year 1645, although it continued to be defended by a garrison till 1652, at which time it was returned by the parliamenmentary commissioners as ruinous, and its materials as worth only the small sum of .£85. The area of the outer ward, called the Castle Green, is now surrounded by pleasant walks and seats for the accommodation of the inhabitants, who daily resort thither. Another walk has bren made on the site of the lower keep of the castle, i~ the form of a semicircle, on which is a mount called Castle Hill. In the centre of the green is a column, erected to the memory of the hero Nelson. Near to the river are the public b(lths and a subscription room. Hereford contained five dietinct churches, besides the cathedral, previous to the Civil Wars: viz., St. Peter's, All Saints', St. Nicholas', St. Marlin's, and St. Owen's; the· two last of which were destroyed during the siege in the year 1645. The church of St. John the Baptist appears to have been always an appendage to the cathedral. All Saints' church, situate at the top uf ,Eigo-street, consists of a nave, chancel, and side aisles, with a tower risiug from the ground and surmounted by a lofty spire. The tower contains a peal of 8 bells, clock, and chimes which play every third hour; two new buttresses sustain the towel', which overhangs its base considerably. Circular columns sustaining pointed arches separate the nave and aisles; the roof', which is composed of timber, has ancient projecting brackets, pierced panels, and pendants of foliage and fiowen. In the interior of this edifice are several stalls, supposed to have been appropriated to the brethren of the hospital of St. Anthony, in Vienna, to whom this church was given by King Henry Ill., and who appear to have formed a small society here to superw intend their property, as early as the 22nd year of the reign of King Edward I. The stalls are carved with representations of men and animals; the canopies are light and elegant, and beautifully oroamented with fretwork of roses. quatrefoils, and foliage. There are several sub· terraneous pass1:1ges and vaulted apartments under the west end of this edifice.
