[Hereford Cathedral.j HEREFORD Cathedral is situated on the south side of the city of Hereford, not far from the river Wye. Like most of our cathedrals and great abbeys, it has been erected at successive times and in different styles of architecture. It consists of a nave and choir, with aisles to each, a central transept with a tower above the intersection, a smaller transept to the east, and a LadyChapel, which forms the east end of the Cathedral. There was also a tower at the west end, but on Easter Monday, 1786, it fell down, and not only crushed the west front beneath it, but broke down a considerable part of the adjoining nave. The west end was rebuilt by Wyatt, in a style unlike the previous architecture, little in accordance with the rest of the structure, and little creditable to himself as an architect. The western tower has not been rebuilt, and the nave has been deprived of fifteen feet of its length. A better taste has, however, prevailed in the more recent alterations. tecture, and rose to the height of a hundred and thirty feet from the ground. At the time of the rebuilding of the west front other alterations were made: a spire, formed of timber, but cased with lead, rose to the height of ninety-two feet from the top of the central tower; this spire was taken down to relieve the tower from its weight, and an appearance of additional height was given to the tower by flattening the angle of the roofs of the nave and central transept, the battlements were raised somewhat higher, and crocketed pinnacles were added at the corners. The central tower is one hundred and thirty-eight feet high to the bottom of the battlements, so that the entire height to the top of this spire was two hundred and thirty feet. The central tower is square and exceedingly massive. It is ornamented with a profusion of nail-head or bulb ornaments, besides the triangular fret and zig-zag, all of early character, but arranged in the pointed style, each side of the tower having two ranges of lancetformed windows, four in each range. The present western entrance to the nave is beneath an obtuse-angled arch, over which is an embattled parapet flanked by two small crocketed pinnacles. There is a smaller door of entrance to each aisle beneath an arch similar to that of the entrance to the nave. The great western window is divided by mullions into six principal lights under cinquefoil arches. The head of the window consists of a cinquefoil circle at top and two quatrefoil circles below, the spaces beneath terminating in trefoil arches. The former west front, eighty feet wide, was early Norman work. Several series of small columns, supporting semicircular intersecting arches, extended horizontally over the whole front, each series being divided from those above and below by a different moulding-billet, embattled, fret, nail-head, and zigzag. The columns, base, shaft, and capital, were plain, but some of the arches were ornamented with the nailhead and zig-zag, which also gave richness of decoration to other parts of the front. The entrance was under a semicircular arch supported by five plain columns on each side, which were successively reduced to produce an effect of perspective. The windos had semicircular arches, and were nearly as wide as they were high. The western tower was of pointed archi-pointed arches. No. 819. The nave is divided from the aisles by a double range of exceedingly thick and plain round columns, which support highly decorated semicircular arches, above which, on each side, is a row of arcades with VOL.
