A remarkable collection of letters  from distinguished Victorians has come to light in Ludlow.  The letters were written to Thomas Wright, a Victorian antiquary and an Old Ludlovian. Among them are letters from Charles Dickens, Thomas Carlyle, W. M. Thackeray, Charles Kingsley and William Gladstone.  Chris Train has written their story in this book which answers the questions – who was Thomas Wright? Why were the letters written to him? Why were they among the Southern papers? What were they about?
