Bosbury - Church of the Holy Trinity

The massive fortress-like tower stands some way from the Holy Trinity Church (Historic Churches Trust) which is a fine building dating almost entirely from the Transitional period between Norman and early English, ie about 1180. The arches in the two arcades are pointed, but those of the doorways and the west window are round. Attached to the south side is the Morton Chantry Chapel, built in about 1520. It has fan vaulting and large Perpendicular windows - one of the very few examples of this period in Herefordshire, apart from the occasional window. The chancel screen, with miniature vaulting at the top, dates from the 15th century. The pulpit is Jacobean, with earlier Flemish carved panels. The font, with its original lead lining, is of the same date as the church.

On either side of the chancel are two imposing monuments. That on the south side to John Harford (d. 1573) is by John Guldo of Hereford, as the inscription declares this is the earliest known example of a sculptor's name on a monument. That on the north side to Richard Harford (d. 1578) and his wife is by comparison a very exuberant and indeed rustic affair, with uncouth figures standing on either side -possibly Adam
