Hereford Cathedral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The cathedral of stone, which Milfrid raised, stood for some 200 years, and then, in the reign of Edward the Confessor, it was altered. Hereford Cathedral remained in a state of ruin until Robert of Lorraine was consecrated to the see (made Bishop) in 1079 and undertook its reconstruction. The former, Countess of Hereford, was a 14th-century benefactress of the cathedral, who gave to the Dean and Chapter an acre (4,000 m²) of land in Lugwardine, and the advowson of the church, with several chapels pertaining to it. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hereford_Cathedral   (3565 words)

History of Hereford cathedral choir school - of choristers ancient and modern References to a "grammar school", a "free school", a "college school" and a "cathedral school" are puzzling. In 1835 the school room of the West Cloister was demolished and numbers were so low that school carried on in a room at the back of the master’s house built in 1779. Up until the 1973 the cathedral school was direct grant school, then becoming independent, with the choristers only starting at 11 years of age and staying in the choir until they were 14 or 15 years old. www.ofchoristers.net /Chapters/Hereford.htm   (3000 words)

Hereford Cathedral History Part 2: Medieval Times Hereford, like the neighbouring Cathedrals of Worcester and Gloucester which share the Triennial Choir Festival, has been noted for the excellence of its music. From 1215, Hereford possessed its own liturgy, known as " The Hereford Use" and, in that connection, is one of the cities referred to in the Book of Common Prayer's preface; the others being York, Salisbury, Lincoln and Bangor.

Performing the Mappa Mundi I was educated at Hereford Cathedral School, which meant that we attended a daily assembly in the Cathedral itself. When Richard of Holdingham made the Hereford Mappa Mundi around 1300, he expressed a way of seeing the world which most of his Western European contemporaries would have recognised and understood. But, seeing the tombs which fill the Cathedral, Lifati was struck by a great affinity between medieval Christianity and African religion; a sense of the holiness of the dead, of ancestor-worship, and hence of the way in which ritual and performance relate in both cultures to exorcism. www.bordercrossings.org.uk /mmnew.html   (1998 words)
