More about

The archives in Herefordshire Archives Service provide a rich insight into the history of the county and its people. These are brought to colourful life in many cases by the portraits that were deposited along with family and estate papers. To see the face of Marshall Brydges of Tyberton, recipient of numerous late 17th century letters from his slave owning brother, is to feel a real connection with the past.
