Books about our Church and Ludlow

In Ludlow we are fortunate to have the expertise of local historians who have written excellent booklets on our town and Church. They include:

• The Historic Church Guide
• Illustrated copy of the fine Misericords in St Laurence's Church
• The Organ and Organists of St Laurence's Church (depicting details of our historic Snetzler organ), also a cassette of the organ music
• Illustrated booklets on Ludlow entitled Historic Ludlow, Ludlow in Pictures, The Feathers Hotel, Ludlow Houses, The Great House, and Broad Street

All these publications were produced by a locally connected company. They are of top quality, with prices ranging from £1.50 to £7.95 and are a worthwhile record and keepsake of Ludlow.

Other books include

• The Poetry of A E Housman (also two postcards relating to him)
• Ludlow Geology
• Century of Change - a nostalgic look at education at Ludlow Grammar School and beyond
• A recently-published book, by David Lloyd, commemorating the 500th Anniversary of the Death of Prince Arthur, whose heart was buried in St Laurence's. Postcards are also available.
• The Concise History of Ludlow by David Lloyd
• Images of England; Ludlow, the Second Selection, written by David Lloyd and Gareth Thomas.
• Latin Epitaphs, a fascinating, recently published book
• History of Clungunford, another very interesting and newly published book
• In 2001 we successfully reproduced, by photocopy, the book Ludlow Stained and Painted Glass by Edwin Ganderton and Jean Lafond, which has proved very popular
