Churches (105) : All Saints, Hereford

The church of All Saints in Hereford has existed since the early 1300s it replaced a church from the previous century which collapsed. The church has a nave, chancel, North and South chapels and a tower with a spire. The spire learnt over for centuries due to problems with the church foundations until extensive rebuilding work in the 1990s. It's spire still has a twist due to the rusting of the metal fixings of the stone in the spire.

The church is built from coursed rubble. The church has the second largest chained library in England, the largest being in the cathedral a short walk away!
