The Master's House, Ledbury
St Katherine's Square, Ledbury, Herefordshire, HR8 1EA
Originally a house for the Master of St Katherine's Hospital (founded 1231), the Master's House, constructed in 1487, has been at the centre of Ledbury life for over 5 centuries. A magnificent timber frame at its heart, successive occupants have made their mark and altered it to suit their own needs. The building you see today is a product of all these changes with the modern restoration completed in 2015. Today it is home to Ledbury's library! The history lives on in the building's structure - discover Latin inscriptions, carpenter's marks, quirks and more.
