Hereford Cathedral is fortunate to possess one of only four 1217 Magna Carta to survive, which in turn is one of the finest of the eight oldest that survive. It is sometimes put on display alongside the Hereford Mappa Mundi in the Cathedral’s Chained Library.

On the South Side of the Choir is the Organ built in 1892 by “Father” Henry Willis, generally considered to be one of the finest examples of his work in the Country. The Case was designed by Scott.[13]

William Wood is recorded as the Organist at Hereford Cathedral in 1515. Notable Organists include the 16th-Century composers John Bull and John Farrant, the conductor and advocate of British composers, Meredith Davies, the friend of Edward Elgar, George Robertson Sinclair, and the editor of Allegri’s Miserere, Ivor Atkins. The current Organist is Geraint Bowen.

Hereford Cathedral houses ten Bells, 140 ft (43 m) high in the Tower. The Tenor Bell weighs 34 cwt (1.7 tonnes). The oldest Bell in the Cathedral is the sixth Bell, which dates back to the 13th-Century. The Bells are sometimes known as the “Grand Old Lady”, as they are a unique Ring of Bells.
