A cathedral has stood on this site since Saxon times. Indeed, martyred Anglo-Saxon King Ethelbert, to whom Hereford Cathedral is dedicated, was the first English king to convert to Christianity on the arrival of St Augustine’s mission to Kent. Today, the building stands as testament to architectural excellence from Norman times up to the present day. Its Romanesque nave, the north transept containing the Shrine of St Thomas of Hereford, and the award-winning New Library Building are fine examples of this.
