The Herefordshire School is the name of a hypothetical group of master masons working in Herefordshire and Worcestershire (in England) during the 12th century. The name was coined by Polish-English scholar George Zarnecki. Their distinctive Romanesque sandstone and limestone carvings are to be found in several parish churches in the area, most notably Kilpeck, but also Eardisley, Shobdon and Castle Frome in Herefordshire, and Rock, Worcestershire. Their work draws on a variety of cultural sources for its religious and mystical images; Norman military figures, Anglo-Saxon animals and Celtic abstract patterns combine to create a unique and beautiful synthesis. Despite its overtly religious nature, Herefordshire School work also has a playful, occasionally bawdy approach.

  • De Hereforshire School of Sculpture is de naam voor een groep lokale kunstenaars die werkzaam waren tussen ca. 1130 en 1160. Sculpturen behorende tot deze School zijn te vinden in Herefordshire, Shropshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Monmouthshire en Powys. De sculpturen kenmerken zich door invloeden die zijn overgenomen uit de , Ierland, ScandinaviĆ«, Frankrijk en Spanje. Opvallend zijn de in verhouding grote, ovale hoofden met de grote, bollende ogen. Het haar lijkt vaak op een hoofddeksel. Vaak worden ook slangen, vogels en vlechtwerk afgebeeld. In de literatuur zijn twee beeldhouwers van de School bij naam genoemd: Chief Master en Aston Master.
