Become inspired! Marvel at over 500 years of history in our early Tudor timber framed house with fascinating medieval links. Cunningly disguised as a Georgian brick built property with Victorian additions - step inside, the Great Hall will amaze you!
Originally a house for the Master of St Katherine's Hospital (founded 1231), the Master's House, constructed in 1487, has been at the centre of Ledbury life for over 5 centuries. A magnificent timber frame at its heart, successive occupants have made their mark and altered it to suit their own needs. The building you see today is a product of all these changes with the modern restoration completed in 2015. Today it is home to Ledbury's library! The history lives on in the building's structure - discover Latin inscriptions, carpenter's marks, quirks and more.
For Heritage Open Days 2024, we're delighted to bring you our special tour of the Master's House. The tour will take place on Wednesday 11 September at 2pm. This event is free of charge, but we do ask that you collect tickets from Ledbury Books and Maps, 20 High Street, Ledbury. Numbers are strictly limited.
