Ledbury
Ledbury is a Herefordshire market town, being found east of Hereford, and west of the Malvern Hills. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of 9290. Ledbury gets an income from tourism, being steeped in history in an enticing rural region. It has a notable range of timber-framed structures, in particular along Church Lane and High Street. Among the most magnificent is the Market House, built in 1617, found in the town centre. Other noteworthy buildings include the parish church of St. Michael and All Angels, the Painted Room, containing 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 until 2015, nearby Eastnor Castle, and the St. Katherine's Hospital website. Started around 1231, this is a scarce enduring example of a hospital complex, with hall, chapel, a Master's House, which was fully restored and opened in March 2015 to house the Library, almshouses and a timber-framed barn. The town is the site for multiple events including the Poetry Festival. The Market Theatre, considered to be the first worldwide to open in the new millennium, is set near the town centre. They show films regularly and play host to small and mid-scale specialist touring shows, featuring some celebrations 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 commemorate the diamond jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, precisely 60 years after an ox roast that was hosted in 1953 in Ledbury on Coronation Day.
