Saints in the Making Exhibition
The saints played an important part in the lives of all medieval people, who knew and loved popular stories about them and regarded them as vital intercessors forming a bridge between Earth and Heaven. This exhibition explores the significance of the saints, and in particular those special to Hereford, through books, documents and objects from the cathedral’s historic collections. The exhibition is in the Mappa Mundi & Chained Library exhibition space from 27 January to 27 June 2020, normal admission charges apply.
