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.
