Hereford Cathedral 2013 – Tomb of Andrew Jones

Hereford Cathedral 2013 – Tomb of Andrew Jones
Andrew Jones died in 1497. He was a cider maker.

Bradshaw's Descriptive Railway Hand-Book of Great Britain and Ireland of 1863 describes the Cathedral as follows:
"The present Cathedral, lately restored, standing near the river, and dedicated to St. Mary, is the third on this site, the first one having been founded in the ninth century by King Offs, to atone for the murder of Ethelbert. It is a handsome cross, 325 feet long, begun by Bishop Herbert de Lozinga in 1079, when the Norman style prevailed, and finished by Bishop Borth in 1535, who built the beautiful north porch. The west front was spoiled by Wyatt, in restoring it after the fall of the tower above in 1786. There are two other Norman towers, and a great tower, which firmly support a tall spire. Some of the Gothic side chapels, and the monuments of Bishop Cantilupe, Bischop de Bethune &c., deserve notice. A curious Saxon map of the world is in the library. The college of the Vicars-Choral, and the grammar school are in the cloisters; the latter was founded in 1385."

I trust he didn't die from sampling his own product...

Perhaps he fell into a cask of cider, he looks rather young, or perhaps they made a likeness of the young mr. Jones.

There was a bit more information about mr. Jones on the sign next to the tomb if I remember correctly. He lays in the crypt.
