    This church is a fascinating building full of history across hundreds of years. It remains an important place of worship and is also a significant amenity that sits at the heart of Ludlow centre. It offers its visitors an insight into the lives of previous citizens and the wider history of the area. The volunteer staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the church and there is a small shop and café allowing visitors to linger a while and soak up the atmosphere of this fabulous building. It's also worth taking a trip to the top of the tower to enjoy the views over the Shropshire countryside, and also hear the peal of bells from the carillon at certain times of the day. Definitely worth a visit. Entry is free, and there is a small charge to climb the tower to the roof (201 steps)!

    For a small (£4) fee I was able to climb the narrow and difficult steps (approx. 200) up the tower. The photos show the views. The church was welcoming - with a very friendly gentleman pointing out historically interesting features. As is proper for a church there was prayer over the Tannoy - whatever one's beliefs that was a reminder that churches are still a working environment (sic) not merely an historical structure.

    What a lovely church. Big enough, and imposing enough, to be a cathedral. Really knowledgeable volunteer team made the visit very interesting. I'd recommend climbing the stairs to the top of the tower as the views are spectacular ( the climb is a bit claustrophobic, though).

    Wonderful church in the centre of town . Prince Arthur prince of Wales who died age 15 at Ludlow his heart is buried here .you can climb the church tower to the top . Amazing stained glass windows. Well worth a visit just to see the interior even if you don't want to climb the tower. Lovely old font .

    I came across a sign saying that the Church was open and on impulse, popped in. Whilst it's visible from around the town, once you are at the end of the market, it's slightly obscured by the Market Hall. Once inside, it's stunning. There are volunteers to explain things - the gentleman explaining the misericords was particularly interesting - pointing out the one of what happened to the Brewster who sold short measure ale in Ludlow - the third picture in the attachments below - that shows her hauled to trial and then fed into the mouth of Hell. Do also look up - the tower and the ceilings are beautifully decorated. There's something in every nook and cranny that draws the eye.
