view of church interior - nave - looking north

Source caption: "Interior, All Saints' church, Hereford. View from the balcony of the Café. [...] The church dates from around 1200 but was later badly damaged,possibly by earthquake. It was rebuilt but not finished until about 1330. There is a nave with aisles, chancel, north and south chapels and tower with spire. [...] The nave has a five bay arcade, although on the north side this is reduced to three due to the base of the tower. [...] The church has changed little since the 14th century, but the majority of the interior has been refurbished and there is now a thriving cafe and meeting place. It is still used for worship."
