A short history of Hereford
The name Hereford is said to come from Anglo-Saxon words for an army and a river crossing, while the Welsh name Henffordd means old road. Putta became Bishop of Hereford between 676 and 688 and the settlement grew near the border between Mercia and Wales, becoming the Saxon capital of West Mercia by the early 8th century. At the Battle of Hereford in 760 the Britons broke free of English influence. Under Athelstan the town held the sole mint beyond the Severn. The present cathedral and first Wye bridge date from the early 12th century. Richard I granted a charter in 1189 and the Bishop's Palace followed in 1204. A Scottish army besieged the city in 1645 and Parliament took it that December. Of 353 listed buildings nearby, four are Grade I: the cathedral, Wye Bridge, College of Vicars Choral and The Old House.
