Impossibly cute, Church Lane is a cobblestone alley from the Medieval Church of St Michael and All Angels to the famous Market House. It weaves through a ravine of timber-framed houses, some hanging almost precariously over the alley. Many of Ledbury’s main attractions are in these Tudor and late-Medieval houses, like the Heritage Centre, Butcher’s...
Ledbury’s postcard landmark is the timber-framed Market House on the High Street. Begun in 1617, this oak building has an open market place underneath and an upper storey raised on 16 wooden posts. While the upper floor of market buildings like this were normally used for official purposes as council chambers, Ledbury’s Market House stored corn, ho...
At the bottom end of Church Lane is one of the oldest timber-framed buildings in Ledbury. Dating from the 1400s, this historic building contains town council offices, and went through a big restoration starting in 1988. In the course of this work, layers of wallpaper were stripped away in one of the upstairs rooms, revealing wonderful frescoes from...
On the High Street there was a little butchers’ district set on 15 burgage plots (a Medieval town rental property). One cute, timber-framed survivor from this period houses the free Butchers Row Museum. This building was removed from the High Street in the 19th century, but was kept intact and moved to its current spot on Church Lane in 1979. The h...
A couple of miles into the Malverns is a marvellous example of a Georgian Gothic Revival castle. On an estate going back to the 1500s, the lakeside Eastnor Castle was built from 1812 to 1820 with bold towers and machicolations reminiscent of the Medieval strongholds on the Welsh border. The Cocks family who founded the estate continue to live at Ea...
It’s only right that Ledbury’s local history museum should be housed in half-timbered Medieval building, this one with a corbelled upper floor projecting out over the cobblestone of Church Lane. The Heritage Centre was built around 1480 as a grammar school for boys. What is thrilling is that some of the pupils carved their name’s into the schools t...
Praised by Historic England as one of the finest churches in Herefordshire, the Church of St Michael and All Angels dates mostly from the 1100s to the 1300s. The west door with a round arch is 12th-century Norman, as are the bases of the four large pillars at the west end of the north arcade in the nave. The fine windows on the north aisle are 13th...
In Much Marcle, a simple drive on the A449, Hellens Manor is an exceptionally old residence. The building is a blend of Tudor, Jacobean and Georgian architecture, but with foundations from the 1100s and elements going back even further. Hellens remains a family home rather than a museum and is replete with period decoration, furnishings, art and cu...
One of the finest timber-framed houses in England awaits at the top of the High Street on the corner of the Worcester Road. Simply Ledbury Park, this Tudor house is from 1600, with a top floor and north range that went up in the following decades. On the splendid west front facing The Southend are five triangular gables, with corbels in their valle...
Antiquarians could plan an edifying excursion to this 13th-century church near Hellens in Much Marcle. St Bartholomew’s was built over 200 years from the 1200s to the 1400s, and is crested by a 15th-century embattled tower. One of the first things to check out is the hollow yew tree in churchyard, believed to be around 1,500 years old. In the churc...
