In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Belmont like this:
BELMONT, an estate in Herefordshire; on the river Wye, 2 ¼. miles WSW of Hereford. A large Roman Catholic church, and a wing of a Benedictine monastery containing 40 chambers, were built here in 1859. The church is cruciform, in the early English style, very richly decorated; and is surmounted by a tower, intended to be terminated in a spire 210 feet high.
Belmont is now part of HEREFORDSHIRE Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how HEREFORDSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Belmont itself, go to Statistics.
