Ludlow town walls, Ludlow - Shropshire (UA)
Medieval town walls in multiple ownership. Historic England has helped to fund a town walls management plan and the repair of sections of wall in both private and local authority ownership. Following the collapse of a substantial length of wall below the parish Churchyard in 2013, Historic England provided advice to the Town Council who are primarily responsible for its repair. The Town Council has appointed a consultant Structural Engineer to carry out an options appraisal to inform repair costs and this report was completed in 2022. The Town Council is currently considering its options.
