Civic Pride in Hereford...
•
📍The Town Hall, Hereford
🔎 List Entry Number: 1279640
•
These shots are of the Town Hall in Hereford - built in terracotta and brick in Edwardian Baroque style c.1904 by Henry Cheers. This replaced previous Town Halls in Hereford - a Tudor black and white half-timbered one built in 1620, and its Georgian neoclassical version which had had its top floor removed and refaced in plaster in 1792. The Edwardian version wreaks civic pride from every angle, with fine terracotta work by W J Bowers. It’s symmetrical with seven bays, an arched door with rusticated columns, double height tripartite mullioned windows above, topped off with the coat of arms for Hereford, an oculus and towers at either end...Glorious!

Half-timbered happiness in Hereford...
•
📍The Old House, Hereford
🔎 List Entry Number: 1207754
•
This glorious ‘black & white’ half-timbered house in the centre of Hereford is The Old House, suitably named as it was built in 1621, originally as a shop and dwelling, part of ‘Butcher’s Row’, though now housing a museum of Jacobean life. It is a splendid building - timber frame with wattle and daub infill, wonderfully canted mullion and transom oriel windows 1️⃣, 2️⃣ & 5️⃣ supported by figurehead brackets 9️⃣. The gorgeously characterful wood carving is abundant in the ‘enriched bargeboards 3️⃣ & 7️⃣ and pendants’ 🔟 as the listing says. I especially love the angels - the one in the gable 4️⃣, and the one bearing the date ‘1621’ 3️⃣ & 8️⃣, and the fine coat of arms above the door for The Worshipful Company of Butchers (The Butchers’ Guild). The house was restored in 1882 with additional carvings in 1883 by Robert Calke...

A quiet morning at Baddesley Clinton. As it is one of the more compact National Trust properties, it lends itself to a slow visit. Steeped in history, this manor is most famous for the part it played in the Gunpowder plot.

If you are visiting with small children, make sure you head there before 8 November to enjoy the Tom Fletcher-themed book trail!

Hereford Cathedral internals...(2 of 2)
•
📍Hereford Cathedral
🔎 List Entry Number: 1196808
•
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...

Inside Hereford Cathedral...(1 of 2)
•
📍Hereford Cathedral
🔎 List Entry Number: 1196808
•
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!
