Ledbury
Ledbury is a Herefordshire market town, being located east of Hereford, and west of the Malvern Hills. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of 9290. Ledbury takes advantage of an income from tourism, being steeped in history in an appealing rural location. It has a significant range of timber-framed structures, particularly along Church Lane and High Street. Among the most outstanding is the Market House, built in 1617, found in the town centre. Other notable structures include the parish church of St. Michael and All Angels, the Painted Room, featuring sixteenth-century frescoes, the Old Grammar School, the Barrett-Browning memorial clock tower, developed by Brightwen Binyon and opened in 1896 to house the library till 2015, close by Eastnor Castle, and the St. Katherine's Hospital site. Established around 1231, this is a rare enduring example of a hospital complex, with hall, chapel, a Master's House, which was entirely restored and opened in March 2015 to house the Library, almshouses and a timber-framed barn. The town is the venue for different events including the Poetry Festival. The Market Theatre, thought to be the very first worldwide to open in the new millennium, is positioned near the town centre. They show films on a regular basis and play host to small and mid-scale professional touring shows, including some performances in the Poetry Festival. The annual Community Day takes place in June each year. The first such celebration was an Ox Roast on 2 June 2013 to celebrate the diamond jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, exactly 60 years after an ox roast that was hosted in 1953 in Ledbury on Coronation Day.
