Publications

The Ludlow Historical Research Group has an active publications committee which oversees and publishes research papers into a wide variety of local topics. Below you can view our more recent publications; copies can be purchased through this site. In addition, some members also publish the results of their specialist research in refereed journals and books, links to which can be found on the page concerning research projects currently in progress.

Leaflets, books of local interest and advice can be found at the Visitor Information Centre on Castle Street SY8 1AS (Telephone 01584 875 053). A few doors away at No.5 Castle Street, Castle Bookshop includes a substantial collection of local interest publications.
