Moccas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moccas is a village and civil parish in the English county of Herefordshire. It is located fourteen miles west of Hereford.
The parish is mainly farmland with a number of woods, including Woodbury Hill Wood and the Moccas Park Deer Park (though mostly in Dorstone parish). The parish church is well known as the site of a very early Welsh monastery, founded by Saint Dubricius in the 6th century. Moccas Court, north of the village, replaced the old manor house which once stood next to the church. It is a fine Georgian country house, now an hotel, built between 1776 and 1783 by the Cornewall family.
