Hereford Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Hereford, England
The cathedral features Gothic architecture with a central tower rising above the crossing, Norman pillars, and pointed arches throughout the building.
Construction of the present cathedral began in 1079 under Bishop Robert of Lorraine, following the destruction of an earlier church by Welsh forces.
