The Wye at Hoarwithy

A fine riverside view. I was warned by a passing cyclist of a big hill ahead. Having forgotten some of my maps, this was news, although not unexpected.

King's Caple Court, King's Caple

The house, built c1780 for a solicitor, John Cooke, is an uncommonly fine sight so close to the road in a small village. If one were being picky, one might wonder if the pediment were a little steep. Good doorcase (SO5628 : Detail of King's Caple Court, King's Caple). The architect may have been Anthony Keck. Grade II listed.

Former school, King's Caple

Rubble sandstone. A plaque records that it was a "Sunday and Day School / Built By Subscriptions / -1840- / LEST WE BE WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE". A neat, and now perhaps sometimes overlooked, encapsulation of the value of education. Now used as a parish/community hall.

Church of St John the Baptist - King's Caple, Herefordshire

The church of St John the Baptist stands high here on the western edge of the village. The fabric of the church stretches from the 13th to the 15th century and it looks out to the west to Hoarwithy SO 5429 on the right bank of the Wye and to the south to Sellack SO 5627. On Palm Sunday it was the custom, maybe still is, to give out Pax Cakes to the congregation with the words 'Peace and Good Neighbourhood'. This was said to be one of the three Herefordshire parishes where this was done. Time photo taken not available.

Italy on the Wye - Hoarwithy, Herefordshire

This village on the right bank of the Wye has what may be the most unusual church in Herefordshire. St Catherine's is a product of the Victorian era, being built in 1843 of red sandstone and renovated in 1885 by Architect John Pollard Seddon (1827 - 1906). The work was done at the cost of William Poole, vicar here for 46 years until 1901. The village is first recorded in 1005 and has a toll house and bridge. These two are on the site of a ford and ferry crossing, connecting the village with King's Caple. Time photo taken not available.
