A NEW guidebook to Hereford Cathedral is being launched in the College Hall next Saturday.

The illustrated publication is the latest in a long line of visitors' guides dating back to the The Visitors Hand-guide by FT Havergal in about 1863.

The launch includes a preview of the publication as well as an insight into its creation from people involved in the project.

And anyone with an historic guidebook to Hereford Cathedral can bring it along to the launch where representatives of the library will try to identify it.

Although the event is free, it is only open to ticket holders.

Anyone wanting to attend the launch, should contact the retail manager on 01432 374208.
