• Hereford Use

a term employed to designate that rite which, taking its name from the cathedral of Hereford, was commonly used in some of the north-west counties of England, and in parts of Wales, prior to the Reformation. It differs only slightly from the use of Salisbury in the prayer of oblation and in the communion of the priest. The service-books of these rites are extremely rare MSS., no doubt, were everywhere destroyed. Only one printed edition is known-that of Rouen, dated 1502.
