 CITY of HEREFORD, 
 
 A ND ITS 
 
 CATHEDRAL. 
 
 RICONIVM, or Aricenche fieri 
 and by an Aph^traljis of Ar, call'd 
 Kenchefter , was a confiderable 
 City in the Time of the Romans^ 
 of whofe Antiquity are fufficient 
 Teftimonies : Stones of zJ^ufive 
 Work, Britijh Bricks, and Coins of the CiESARs, 
 having there been frequently taken up. This 
 Place, whofe Ruins are now call'd Kencluftcr -Walls y 
 is faid to have periih'd by an Earthquake, out of 
 Avhich, as William of Malmsbury and Le- 
 LAND informs us, was ereded Part of this our 
 City of Hereford, ftanding three Miles Eaftward, 
 in a low Situation, among pleafant Meadows and 
 fruitful Corn Fields, encompafs'd almoft with Ri- 
 vers, having the River Eyne Weft North Weft, 
 and the Wye South, which has its Source in Wdes^ 
 It is conje£l:ur'd to have firft fprung up in the 
 Saxon Heptarchy, and to have begun to iiourifli 
 in the Time of Ed w a r d the Elder : For the 
 
 a "BritaJTiSy
 
 ii Some Account oj the City of 
 
 Britainsy before the Name o^ Hereford was known^ 
 call'd it Trefawithy from Beech Trees which 
 grew there in great Plenty. This Place was call'd 
 ibmetimes by the Saxons Femlez, from Fern grow- 
 ing on the Hills there, as likewife Hereford, which- 
 implies a Ford for an Army, fuiting well the Situa- 
 tion of the Place ; the Severn for many hundred 
 Years being the Frontier between two Nations 
 frequently at War. 
 
 In the Time of the Norman Survey ^, this was 
 a Place of no great Note, having but 103 Men 
 within and without the Walls. William of 
 Malmeshiiry informs us, that in his Days it was 
 not large • yet the high and formidable Ruins of 
 its fteep and broken Bulwarks demonftrated it 
 formerly to have been a far greater Place. This 
 City fuffer'd in her State little till the Year 1055-. 
 when Algar (Son of Earl Leofrick) Earl of 
 Chefier^ for fome Mifdemeanour being baniih'd^ 
 retired to Ireland^ and there procuring eighteen 
 Ships, he in conjun^lion with Griffin Prince of 
 Wales, invaded Herefordjlnre, againfl whom was 
 fent Ralph Earl of Hereford^ King Epward's 
 Siller's Son, who meeting Algar's Forces with- 
 in two Miles of this Place, was defeated, with 
 the Lofs of five hundred of his Forces (Iain, and 
 many wounded. Thefe Rebels, encourag'd by 
 this their Succefs, entering this City, march'd to 
 the Cathedral, and there flew feven Canons that 
 defended the great Doors of it, which they firft 
 plunder'd, and then fet it on fire, which in a

 fmall time confum'd thac Fabrick with the whole 
 City to Afhes. The News of which being brought 
 to King Edward, then at Gloucefter, he forthwith 
 raifed an Army, and appointed Harold, Earl 
 of the IVefi Saxons y General thereof, who advan- 
 cing immediately againfc them, and pitching his 
 Tents at Snaudune in North-Wales^ fo terrified 
 Prince Griffin and Algar, that they foon be- 
 took themfelves to flight. Whereupon Harold 
 march'd to Hereford^ and fortified it with a deep 
 and large Rampire, and ftrong Gates * foon after 
 which, Peace was concluded betweea thofe great 
 Peribns. ' 
 
 And then Part of this City, as I fuppofe, was re« 
 built out of Part of Kenchefler ^ for the Ingenious 
 Antiquary, Mr. Ldand^ * informs us, that they 
 puird down and carried away fome of thofe Ruins 
 for their own Buildings \ and farther fays, that the 
 Town was antient, large, and flrongly wall'd, and 
 in Compafs within the Walls, a Mile : That there 
 were in the Town four Parifh Churches, viz,. 
 St. PfiTER's, Sc. Nicholas, All-Hallows, 
 and St. John's, fome of which were fair, and the 
 lafl of them a Part of the Cathedral. 
 
 I do not find that this City was difturb'd till 
 the Time of the late Civil Wars, when being 
 noted for its Loyalty, it endur'd a Siege •, but was 
 betray'd, by the Treachery of fome Perfbns of Re- 
 publican Principles, to the Parliament Army. This 
 City bore for their Arms Qules three Lions Taffmt 
 Cjuardant Or • but in refped of its Loyalty, was 
 rewarded by King Charles Ifl, in the 21ft Year

 This City was likewife remarkable for its Caftle, 
 which is now entirely demoliih'd, tho' in Leland^s 
 Time fbme part of it was {landing, who informs 
 US, ^' it fliood on the Side of Wye River, not far 
 *^ from the Cathedral, and was of as great 
 '^ Circuit as Windfor. The Dungeon of the 
 *' Caftle high and ftrong, having in the utter Wall 
 *' or Ward ten Towers, forma femicircuUriy and 
 *^ one great Tower in the inner Ward, each of 
 " which Wards were environed with Water : That 
 *^ there was a Bridge of Stone Arches, and a Draw- 
 *' bridge in the Middle of it to enter into the 
 " Caftle then clean down." Some fay King Ed- 
 WARD built this Caftle in the 9th Year of his 
 Reign, others attribute it to Earl Harold, and 
 fome Authors to the Lacys and Bokuns, Earls 
 of Hereford, 
 
 I {hall now proceed to give an Account of the 
 Tno{l worthy Matter of Note in this City, which 
 is its Cathedral ^ only fir{l take Notice, that 
 this City, according to Geographers, is in the Lon- 
 gitude of 20 Degrees 24 Minutes, Latitude 52 
 
 Degrees
 
 Hereford^ and its Cathedral, v 
 
 Degrees 6 Minutes ^ and is fituate about i oo 
 Miles Weft North Weft from London. 
 
 Ethelbert (Son of Ethelked, and of Leo- 
 FRUN his Wife) fucceeded his Father in the Km^- 
 dom of the Eaft-Jngles, a Prince of great Hopes 
 in his Youth, delighting in the Studies of good 
 Literature, and in his Advancement to the 
 Throne, ruling his Subjeds with fmgular Pru- 
 dence, Equity, and Moderation •, never permit- 
 ting the Orphan to be opprefs'd, nor Blood to 
 be ihed in doubtful things ; inclining rather to 
 difmifs than condemn, and in other Cafes ready 
 to mitigate the Punifhment of Criminals convided, 
 if (in the leaft) worthy of Favour. He was al- 
 alvvays exceedingly pleas'd, when any one was re- 
 commended to him for his Probity, that he could 
 reward by Preferment the Juft. Thefe and other 
 Virtues daily ihining in this lllaftrious Prince, made 
 his People defirous of his having a Progeny, that 
 might inherit their Anceftor's Vertues. \A/here- 
 upon Altrhida, Daughter of Off a, King of the 
 Mercians^ and of Qu en red a hisConfort, was pro 
 pos'd as a Lady worthy of his Favour *, which Pro- 
 pofition hefeem'd to approve,and departing as foon 
 as Conveniency would permit, with a gallant Re- 
 tinue to the Mercian Court at South-town (now 
 czWd Sutton-Walls) was there at firft entertain'd 
 with great Refpe£t : But QLuenreda envying 
 the Pomp and fplendid Equipage of this Princely 
 Woer, incenfed the King, that Ethelbert was 
 rather brought thither by Ambition than Love, riot 
 intending to marry their Daughter, but to feduce 
 his People ; that his Guard reprefented the Forces, 
 of an Enemy more than the Retinue of a Gueft : 
 And added, if Affection was the Occafion of his 
 ' Arrival
 
 vl Some Account of the City of 
 
 Arrival there^ which fhe miftrufted ; after he was 
 joln'd to Alti-irida in Matrimony, he would not 
 be wanting to make himfelf acceptable to their Peo- 
 ple, and by that rfieans deprive him of his King- 
 dom, Wherefore fiie thought it expedient to pre- 
 vent any fuch thing, advifmg the King to procure 
 fome body that fliould murtherhim. Whereupon 
 a Council was call'd, and a great Reward offer'd to 
 that Perfon who would execute the Fad, which 
 was GuYMBERT, a Domeftick of King Ethel-, 
 bert's Father, and highly efteem'd by him ^ who 
 having received his Reward, not abhorring the Vil- 
 lany, immediately took fome Accomplices with 
 him, went to this Prince's Apartment, telling him 
 that Of FA expected him in private \ wherefore he 
 made himfelf ready to vifit that Prince, but was 
 JHurthered before he came to him ; this Judas, 
 by the Aiiiflanceof his Villains, having cut off his 
 Head, which he afterwards prefented to the Mcr^ 
 cian King, who immiediately ordered his Body and 
 Head to be privately interr'd, the better to con- 
 ceal this wicked Deed, hi purfuance of whofe 
 Commands they were convey'd to Marden on the 
 Banks of the River Luo-q' about four Miles diftant 
 from this City, and there interred. But Of fa be- 
 ing confcious, that he had a^led contrary to the 
 Laws of God and Nature, repented of this inhu- 
 man Action, ordering Brithfridus, a ^^JMcrcUn 
 Nobleman, to remove the Corps and Head, and 
 3t,t^rr them near theMonaftery ol Hereford '^\^\\\ch. 
 good Office he willingly performed with the Affift- 
 ?5nce of EgmundwSj a good and virtuous Man, 
 where were faid after his Sepulture to have been 
 performed many Miracles, of which Milfrip, a 
 yiceroy of Mcrcla^ m Parts diilant from this City, 
 
 hearing^
 
 Hereford, ^^^^//i- Cathedral, vii 
 
 hearing^ fenc great Sums of Money hither, audcau- 
 fed to be built, inMemory of this martyrd Prince, 
 over his Corps, a flately and elegant Church, and 
 appointed it an Epifcopal See -, and endowing it 
 with great Revenues, gave to it many rich Orna- 
 ments. 1 find that in the Time of Bifhop Robert 
 LoziNG, who was confecrated to this See in the 
 Year 1079. it was begun to be rebuilt, and the 
 Work carryed on by that Virtuous Prelate Rai- 
 NELM, his SuccelTor, and other worthy Biihops of 
 this See making great Additions to it ^ but in what 
 Part I cannot fay. 
 
 Giles de Bruce feems to have ere£ted the 
 Tower at the WeB End, being reprefented in this 
 Cathedral holding the Model of a Tower in his 
 Hand, not unlike the abovefaid Tower ; after 
 whofe Time I can give no Account of it till the 
 late unhappy Civil Wars, when I find in^ the 
 Year K545. that it was profaned by the Scots 
 Army, fome of the Effigies of the liijJjops de- 
 fac'd, and near a hundred Grave-flones depriv'd 
 of their Brajfes by the facrilegious Hands of 
 thofe Rebels *, yet I cannot fay but it efcaped bet- 
 ter than many others. The Library was pi under'd, 
 and feveral valuable aJMamifc rifts taken away, but 
 preferv'd by Silas Taylor, a Captain of the Par- 
 liament Army, and a great Lover of Antiquities. 
 The Revenues of the Church were difpos'd of to 
 fundry Perfons for 8850 /. 9/. 3 ^. r. 
 
 To this Church feveral Perlbns were confide- 
 rable Benefactors ; for fo large were their Revenues

 In a Book intituled, Liber Taxationum

 Bodleian Repofitory at Oxford^ and formerly 
 belonging to Sir Henry Sfelman^ among 0- 
 thers is this Taxation of the Diocefs of Here'- 
 fordsf taken in the 19th Year of King Edward 
 the Firft, by a Commiffion of that King di- 
 retted to the then Prelates of Winchefler and 
 Lincoln. This Book is indeed imperfeft, 
 but truly valuable and ufeful, and may be 
 expefted from the Accuracy and Induftry of 
 Thomas Hearne^ M. A. of Edmund-HaU ia 
 the Univerfity of Oxford^ who has much 
 obliged the Publick, by his feithful Editions 
 of fome of the Works of our moft celebrated 
 Antiquaries and Hiftorians : I fliall not: 
 therefore ufurp his Province, by faying any 
 thing further of this valuable M.S. which 
 we need not doubt, but he will illuflrate by 
 his own skilful and happy Conjeftures.
