'''Ludlow''' (derivation: OE; ''hill by the noisy stream'') is a town in Shropshire near Herefordshire about 40Km (25 miles) south of [[Shrewsbury]]. Its easily defendable situation and its position close to the [[Welsh]] border made the [[Norman]] castle built there extremely important as a [[marches|marcher]] stronghold during the [[Middle Ages]]. It was home to the powerful [[Roger Mortimer|Mortimer family]]. It became a royal palace for nearly a century from the ascension of [[Edward IV]] in 1461, and his son, the unfortunate [[Edward V]] was being brought up there. Prince Arthur the older brother of the future [[Henry VIII]] died there.

These days the town is the “exception that proves the rule” as a centre of provincial gastronomic excellence. Its literary fame is assured with the ashes of the “Shropshire lad”, the poet [[A.E. Housman]], buried there in the grounds of St Laurence’s Church...
