Hereford cathedral
Poor dog in the rain. You can see the Old House in the distance...
...A wonderfully and miraculously preserved half-timbered Jacobean house in the heart of Hereford's commercial centre. Formerly part of Butchers' Row, this only remaining house was built in 1621 and has been home to butchers, ironmongers and bankers, before becoming a museum in 1929.

GloucesterHome of the Tailor of Gloucester, who left an unfinished jacket one night, only to return the next morning to find it completed. This story formed the basis for Beatrix Potter's tale of the same name. The Tailor's house is now a little Beatrix Potter shop, and I bought a special edition of the eponymous tale.
Gloucester cathedral:
Not easy to see, because of the additional chapel on the right hand side of the photo, but the arched window in the centre of the photo runs from the ceiling to ground level, and is the largest stained glass window in England. We had a good view of it when we sat in on the Evensong ceremony, but I couldn't get a picture.
