The Heritage Suite
Located within Hereford's Town Hall, this heritage museum holds many of the city’s historic artifacts, including the first Royal Charter given to Hereford in 1189 by Richard the Lionheart, which validated its city status and assured its position as one of England's most important cities at the time. Visitors can also see items from the Mayor's Parlour, such as the sword of Owen Tudor, great-grandfather of Henry VIII, who met his grisly end in Hereford during the Wars of the Roses. Though you can visit independently, you can also visit as part of a wider guided walk through the city with the brilliant Guild of Mayors Guides ( herefordguidedwalks.org.uk), a great way to understand of Hereford's intriguing past.
