Plaque to Nell Gwynne
Plaque to Nell Gwynne
Plaque marking the birthplace of Nell Gwynne.

There is some uncertainty in the whereabouts of her birth, as well as Hereford, the cities of London and Oxford claim to be the site of her birth. If she was born here in Hereford, had she known she would probably have been surprised that her grandson Lord James Beauclerk served as Bishop of Hereford from 1746 to 1787. Living in some splendour in the nearby Bishop's Palace.
