Ludlow: An Historical Anthology by David Lloyd

Ludlow has been described as 'the perfect historic town'. Its first written accounts are monastic chronicles and the remarkable Fitzwarine Romance, a tale of knightly chivalry, much of which is set in Ludlow Castle. This book includes extracts from the works of John Milton and AE Housman, among others. It is of interest to those who know Ludlow.
The late David Lloyd was an enthusiastic local historian who studied at Oxford under W.G. Hoskins. Though born and brought up in Ludlow, across the county boundary, he knew Worcestershire all his life, much of which was spent in that part of south Birmingham which was once part of the historic county. Whilst working as a schoolmaster and a College of Education lecturer, he took classes for many years, for the Department of Continuing Studies of Birmingham University, at Bewdley, Bromsgrove and Chaddersley Corbett; and he was well known as a visiting speaker in several other parts of Worcestershire. He most recently lived in Ludlow, where he was Mayor, a member of the District and County Councils and a Director of Ludlow Festival.
