This photo print, titled "Blackfriars Preaching Cross BB87_10176" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the past. Taken in Hereford during the 1850s, it transports us to a medieval era filled with intrigue and spirituality. The image showcases the remnants of Blackfriars Priory, its weathered stone walls standing as silent witnesses to centuries gone by. In the foreground, we see two men and a woman gathered near the Preaching Cross. Their presence adds an air of mystery and curiosity to this already enchanting scene. Perhaps they are locals who stumbled upon this historical site or historians seeking knowledge amidst these ancient ruins. The Preaching Cross itself stands tall and proud, adorned with intricate carvings that tell tales of faith and devotion. It serves as a reminder of the priory's significance in religious life during medieval times—a place where sermons were delivered passionately to eager listeners.

We can almost hear echoes of sermons resonating through the air while imagining bustling crowds gathering around for spiritual guidance.
