	Hereford Cathedral History Part 1: Celtic & Saxon Times
		The See of Hereford has been quoted as being "one of the few bishoprics which have come down almost without interruption from the first establishment of Christianity in our land until the present day." It is certainly considered the most ancient in England.
		Traditionally, the erection of the first Cathedral at Hereford or Caerfawydd, as the city was then known, was paid for by King Gerren Llyngesoc of Dumnonia (Devon & Cornwall) in AD 542; the Bishopric probably being transferred from the nearby Roman town of Magnis (Kenchester).
		Merewalh's son, King Mildfrith, and his family were buried at the Cathedral, probably in the 720s, and the move to the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary may have occurred soon afterward.

	History of Hereford cathedral choir school - of choristers ancient and modern
		In May 1996 Hereford had the honour of welcoming HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh when the Queen opened the new Mappa Mundi exhibition housed in the splendid new building south west of the cathedral.
		It was Hereford’s turn to host the Three Choirs Festival and the Hereford cathedral choir gave a moving performance of the Monteverdi Vespers of 1610.

	Hereford Cathedral - Review - You Don't Have To Be Religious To Visit Here - But It Helps!
		During an impromptu visit to Hereford over the weekend, we stopped off at Hereford Cathedral to make a change from the unending farms and fields which was more or less all we'd seen for the first couple of days.
		It dominates the Hereford skyline and is prominently in view from most directions, the stonework and carvings on the exterior of the cathedral are detailed and blend in fantastically with the building itself.
		It'd be possible to rush through the cathedral in a quick half an hour, but you really wouldn't be getting the benefit of your visit as some of the displays are quite understated and you need time to look at them properly in order to understand the reason they were included in the cathedral exhibits.
