So the prevailing architecture vernacular for Herefordshire is what seems to be known as "Black and White". - in fact there are a series of villages in North Herefordshire known as the 'Black and White Villages".
This refers to the often Tudor timber framed buildings where the wooden beams are exposed and painted black, and the spaces between (usually plaster or wattle-and-daub infill) are painted white. The black is normally tar, and the white a lime plaster. Residents took great pride in keeping their crisp black and white façade.
So a great example of this is Ledbury Market Hall, impressively dating back from 1617 with a stilted structure where markets are still held, and a grain store above.

It's a beautiful building in a lovely town. Well worth a visit.
