Notes: The original St Peter's church was built by Walter de Lacy, lord of Weobley. In 1085 Walter fell to his death from the top of the building during its construction. The chancel of the church dates from late 12th or early 13th centuries. The nave, rebuilt in around 1300, is as wide as that of the cathedral, and would have replaced the earlier one erected when the church was first built, as a monastic foundation, after the Norman Conquest. The monastic function of the church disappeared in the mid 12th century when it was combined with St Guthlac’s Priory and located to the north-east of the city in the area now occupied by the bus station and the new Hereford hospital.
Extensive renovation in both the late 18th and late 19th centuries has obscured much of the evidence, but St Peter’s does have surviving medieval features.
