The name of Bohun suggests Hereford. Unfortunately, Hereford Castle no longer exists. It was built
in 1048, and apparently consisted of a moat and bailey. The mound has been leveled to the ground,
but the bailey is outlined by high banks. One report has it that all that remains is a platform and a
piece of a ditch.
The Castle was once situated near the present Bishop's Palace. It was seriously battered in an
attack in 1055, but it was restored, and was again in use in 1067. The site which it now occupies is
a public garden, gay with shrubbery and flowers. An ornamental lake indicates where once was the
moat, but the outlines of the walls are shown only by grass covered ridges.
