The remains of the Shobdon Arches, Hereford England
The remaining Shobdon Arches. They are the original interior arches of the church that were removed in 1756 and placed at the top of the adjacent hill as a folly were they stand today. The arches are weather beaten but details of some of the original fine carving can still be seen. Its Romanesque decoration connects it to the important Herefordshire school of masonry.
