LUDLOW, Shropshire, England
The historic market town of Ludlow. The castle was built 1086-1094 by the De lacy family, and is today owned by the Earl of Powis. Ludlow also has one of the largest parish churches in England. Parts of the present Church of St.Laurence date from 1199-1200 but most of what we see today is 15th century. Arthur, Prince of Wales, elder brother of Henry VIII, and his wife Katherine of Aragon, lived at Ludlow Castle, but not for long. Just 5 months later on 2 April 1502, Arthur died. He was buried at Worcester Cathedral, but his 'entrails' were buried here at St.Laurence's. Ludlow is situated on the River Teme, and has over 500 'Listed' historic buildings. Music by Brian Crain.

Ludlow Castle is a ruined medieval fortification in the town of the same name in the English county of Shropshire, standing on a promontory overlooking the River Teme. The castle was probably founded by Walter de Lacy after the Norman conquest and was one of the first stone castles to be built in England.
n the 21st century, Ludlow Castle is owned by John Herbert, the current Earl of Powis, but is held and managed by the Trustees of the Powis Castle Estate as a tourist attraction. The castle was receiving over 100,000 visitors a year by 2005, more than in previous decades. The castle traditionally hosts a Shakespearean play as part of the annual cultural Ludlow Festival in the town, and is at the centre of the Ludlow Food and Drink Festival each September.
English Heritage considers Ludlow to be one of England's finest castle sites, with the ruins representing a remarkably complete multi-phase complex It is protected under UK law as a Scheduled Monument and a Grade I listed building.

Ludlow Castle
Ludlow Castle is a ruined medieval fortification in the town of the same name in the English county of Shropshire, standing on a promontory overlooking the River Teme. The castle was probably founded by Walter de Lacy after the Norman conquest and was one of the first stone castles to be built in England. During the civil war of the 12th century the castle changed hands several times between the de Lacys and rival claimants, and was further fortified with a Great Tower and a large outer bailey. In the mid-13th century, Ludlow was passed on to Geoffrey de Geneville who rebuilt part of the inner bailey, and the castle played a part in the Second Barons' War. Roger Mortimer acquired the castle in 1301, further extending the internal complex of buildings, and the Mortimer family went on to hold Ludlow for over a century.
