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 immersed in history in an attractive rural spot. It has a notable range of timber-framed structures, particularly along Church Lane and High Street. One of the most exceptional is the Market House, constructed in 1617, located in the town centre. Other noteworthy buildings include the parish church of St. Michael and All Angels, the Painted Room, consisting of sixteenth-century frescoes, the Old Grammar School, the Barrett-Browning memorial clock tower, designed by Brightwen Binyon and opened in 1896 to house the library until 2015, close by Eastnor Castle, and the St. Katherine's Hospital website. Started around 1231, this is a scarce surviving 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 numerous events including the Poetry Festival. The Market Theatre, deemed to be the very first worldwide to open in the new millennium, is positioned near the town centre. They show films regularly and play host to small and mid-scale specialist touring shows, including some performances in the Poetry Festival. The annual Community Day occurs in June each year. The first such occasion was an Ox Roast on 2 June 2013 to salute the diamond jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, exactly 60 years after an ox roast that was run in 1953 in Ledbury on Coronation Day.
