St Francis Xavier Church Hereford

St Francis Xavier Church stands on the east side of Broad Street, Hereford, a tall yellow building shouldered between pizza parlours, jewellers and banks. Opposite stands an old hotel, a library and a radio station. The road outside is busy with cab ranks, a bus stop and herring bone parking. Before the construction of the Hereford by pass and the new bridge when this church was put up Broad Street was the central thoroughfare of the city. The current church building is a fairly new arrival in Hereford being built in the years after the 1829 Catholic Emancipation Act.
