| Summary | "Tales of English Minsters: Hereford" by Elizabeth W. Grierson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the rich history of Hereford Cathedral, delving into the lore and significant events associated with its past. It addresses not only the architectural developments of the cathedral but also the tales of noteworthy figures, particularly the lives and fates of monarchs and bishops connected to the site. The narrative presents a tapestry of stories that intertwine with the history of Hereford Cathedral, beginning with the early Christian missions to Britain and the establishment of the Welsh Church. Central to the text are the dramatic and tragic tales of King Ethelbert, who was betrayed and murdered, leading to the construction of a significant church in his honor. Grierson also recounts the challenges faced by the cathedral through wars and invasions, including the burning of the church and the rebuilding efforts that ensued. Interwoven with these historical events are biographical sketches of important ecclesiastical figures, such as Bishop Thomas de Cantilupe, enriching the reader's understanding of the cathedral's enduring legacy and significance in English heritage.
