Hereford Cathedral is the cathedral church of the Anglican Diocese of Hereford[1] in Hereford, England.
A place of worship has existed on the site of the present building since the 8th century or earlier. The present building was begun in 1079.[2] Substantial parts of the building date from both the Norman and the Gothic periods. The cathedral is a Grade I listed building.[3]
The cathedral has the largest library of chained books in the world, its most famous treasure being the Mappa Mundi, a medieval map of the world created around 1300 by Richard of Holdingham.[2] The map is listed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register.[2]
