A very old building which has a wealth of fascinating memorabilia and writing about the 15th Century building and its uses through the centuries. Well presented archive material and activities for children. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. A lot of other attractions in Church Street which we did not have time to visit and indeed Ledbury seemed to be a place to spend a day. Recommended.
Church street in Ledbury is one of those old fashioned narrow English lanes that tourists flock to, it can be found just behind the market hall in the high street, and has many cafes etc and ends up as you would expect at the church (also worth visiting). Well worth paying a visit when in Ledbury or just passing through, another bonus is that there are some clean public convieniences part way up on the left hand side.
We stopped in the town just for a quick pint, nice selection of independent shops, butchers, cider shop etc, Church Street is something straight out of a Dickens novel, narrow little lane with beautiful Tudor buildings, well worth stopping by for a pleasant walk.
A great atmosphere walking down this cobbled street with the timber buildings and church spire in the distance. The museum is well worth seeing and it was a shame I didn't have more time to look around the church which is unusual in that the tower is separate from the main building. We also had a good lunch at the P'tit Bistro.
I'm lucky enough to live here but never fail to feel good when you look up this lovely street up to the Church. England at its best. Particularly if you are on your way up to the Prince for a pint of Wye Valley!
Ledbury has to be one of the prettiest places I have visited in a long time. There are lovely independent shops to explore, Mews leading to more shops and cafes but best of all Church Street.As you walk up Church Street the view is wonderful, you will find Chez Pascal cafe courtyard and this is also well worth a visit.At the top of the street is St Michael & All Angels which is Ledbury Parish Church. On entering the church has the most peaceful atmosphere and there is so much to see inside. Beautiful stained glass windows, art work, a collection of ancient books from the 15 century and so much more which is detailed in the visitor guide and free although they do ask for donations which I was happy to give.Clearly the church is very active in the local community with lots of events advertised and pictures of past events on display. All the people who help at the church are depicted on a notice board and I especially liked that the cleaning team are known as 'The Holy Dusters'.Don't pass up an opportunity to visit here, you will not be disappointed
Drive through here frequently 'saying must stop looks so fabulous'- always en route elsewhere with little time to stop. Did so this time as had 2 hours to spare and it all lived up to expectations and we only skimmed the surface especially as we had lunch as well. Church Street stand up with the best English Lanes.
Step back into what one fondly believes is a past time. All that is missing is some sentimental music. There is an interesting museum here, run by local civic society. Next to it is a tiny pub. We popped in here for a drink on a sunny day in September. It was full of interesting locals. Food looked good too.Lovely street with a Church at the end of it.Charming.
a great place to walk leading to the st michaels and all angels church has museums open in season; the painted room at the council offices with town tours and information; prince of wales pub and miss muggins tearoom
I am lucky to often work in Ledbury, using Burgage Hall on Church Street to deliver training. Church Street is just beautiful at any time of year but especially in the snow. I am lucky to often see it at 8am when very few people are about. A truly beautiful place.
