A personal project.
A shared history.
Created by Herefordian and 3D artist Jack Hodges, Hereford 1642 began with a simple ambition: to make something for the city, now and for the future.
With support from his father on programming and animal behaviour, Jack is bringing together art, local history and interactive storytelling. The aim is a non-violent experience for all ages.
