Tremendous wood and stone-carving gracing the interior of the wonderful Hereford Cathedral. I particularly love the Consistory Court Stalls in the Nave 1️⃣, 2️⃣, 3️⃣ & 7️⃣ - especially the Devil 1️⃣ and that fabulous winged monkey 7️⃣. These stalls were used by the bishops when they held ecclesiastical courts addressing moral offences, and the misericords were ‘mercy seats’ to allow the clergy some support during long periods of standing. During the 1860s, architect Sir George Gilbert Scott rearranged the medieval choir stalls. Leftover 14th-century pieces from this work were gathered and reconstructed into the current stalls in 1934. 3️⃣ shows the Virgin Mary and her mother, Saint Anne. There are a number of fantastic effigies at Hereford, and 6️⃣, 8️⃣ & 9️⃣ show the wonderful alabaster effigies of Alexander Denton, and sadly his wife, Anne, who died during childbirth when just 18 years old and their baby child...

Moving on from my exterior shots of the glorious cathedral at Hereford, here are a few of inside. The C11th nave is built in the Norman style with hefty round drum pillars supporting arches adorned with Romanesque zigzags 4️⃣, 5️⃣ & 8️⃣. Springing upwards are rib vaults 1️⃣ & 2️⃣ supported on corbel headstops 6️⃣ and meeting at elaborate ceiling bosses 3️⃣. At the other end, the Lady Chapel was rebuilt in the C13th with a crypt below in Early English Gothic style, and in the C14th the central tower was rebuilt with its wonderfully fashionable ballflowers (well, fashionable for the C14th!) both inside and out, like these in the medieval effigy of Bishop Losinga in the south choir aisle 🔟...
Quite superb!

It’s Harvest Time from @big_apple_herefordshire and this year (as always) we visited Woodredding Cider and Hellens. Special guests this year, other than Robs Lunches of course, was the Archbishop of Canterbury, accompanied by the Bishop of Hereford who has risen in my estimations for getting the big boss to visit what is a fantastic annual (well sort of bi-annual) event. Much cider was purchased for later consumption.

📖 Special Forces Sunday – A Little Book of Regimental History! 🗡️

Something rather special arrived in the post this week!

The Regimental Identity: Insignia and Traditions, published by the Special Air Service Regimental Association.

This nifty little book is packed with bite-sized information about the history, identity and traditions of the SAS, presented across beautifully photographed, full-colour glossy pages.

From the badges worn by members of the Regiment to the colours of their uniforms, insignia and even tartan patterns, it’s fascinating to discover just how much history and meaning can be found in the smallest details.

After all, a Regiment’s history isn’t just about the operations it undertakes, but also the symbols, traditions and identity that connect generations of those who have served.

And perhaps the best part? All proceeds go to charity, making it a worthwhile addition to the bookshelf for more than one reason.

A fascinating little reference book and another keeper for my growing military history collection!

Who Dares Wins. 🗡️

The chained library at Hereford Cathedral, an unexpected Palladian country house and a stained glass window remembering the founding of Eton College. In and around #Hereford.

Here are some shots of the fabulous East Front of Hereford Cathedral. It features remarkable examples of C13th Early English Gothic, C15th tracery 4️⃣ and additions, and was restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the C19th. I particularly love the wonderful face hood moulds 4️⃣, 6️⃣, 7️⃣, 8️⃣ & 9️⃣, and how the mandorla (Italian for ‘almond’) shape 3️⃣ & 5️⃣ that was used in a number of ways in Hereford Cathedral; (i) it was used on the Mappa Mundi (c.1300), Hereford Cathedral’s great treasure, to depict Christ in Majesty, (ii) also to surround the C13th seal of Thomas de Cantilupe, Bishop of Hereford, and (iii) the Herefordshire School of Romanesque Sculpture, the master masons who carved the cathedral’s stonework in the C13th, used it as an architectural device particularly on the East Front...

Some more shots from our recent trip to the glorious Hereford Cathedral. Sitting oh so picturesquely by the River Wye 5️⃣ it was frequented by the composer, Edward Elgar 1️⃣ who lived at Plas Gwyn in Hereford, and who was a driving force in the Three Choir Festival which toggles between the cathedrals of Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester.
Architecturally, the North Front 1️⃣, 2️⃣ & 🔟 features the North Transept, built in C13th Geometric Decorated Early English Gothic inspired by Henry III’s Westminster Abbey, whereas the South Front 3️⃣, 4️⃣ & 6️⃣ exhibits older C12th Romanesque influences and the Cloisters 9️⃣
