Old Radnor was an important centre of Welsh princedom of Powys before the Normans arrived and would have had a castle or administrative buildings. Across the lane from the church is a raised earth platform with a ditch around it that some have suggested was where the castle stood.

St Mary The Virgin was built in 1762 on the site of a medieval place of worship and pilgrimage. Two headstones by Eric Gill can be found in the churchyard.
All Saints Church has been a focus of Hereford life for over 800 years. Its dramatic twisted spire dominates the skyline, and the medieval interior is an inspired meeting of the sacred and the secular: we aim to serve the human need for physical and social as well as spiritual nourishment.
There has been a place of worship on the cathedral site since at least the 8th century, although no part of any building earlier than the 11th century bishop's chapel survives. The medieval cathedral was not monastic; the governing body, known as the Dean and Chapter, were not monks but secular priests who led active lives in the world. They employed the Vicars Choral, a body of clergy who lived a collegiate life in the Vicars' Cloister, to sing the daily services for them.
