A Map, A Library and A Bishop

From our base in Droitwich we ventured out on a day trip to the city of Hereford.

“Bish” Anthony Priddis, the 104th Bishop of the Hereford Cathedral happily poses for us. He was in his finery as he had just finished a special service for about 500 children from all the local schools, he didn’t just put his garb on for us.
