The see of Hereford was erected in the 7th century, and in 1189 the town received its first charter from Richard I. Hereford Cathedral, a very beautiful building, with a tower 160 ft. high, was built about 1115, on the site of an older edifice; it was restored from designs by Sir Gilbert Scott in 1863.
