About  Ledbury   

Ledbury is a town in Herefordshire, England. It is east of Hereford, on the southern slope of the Malvern Hills. Ledbury is an ancient borough, dating back to the Domesday Book, where it was recorded as Liedeberge, and returned members to Parliament in the reign of Edward I. Ledbury probably takes its name from the River Leadon, on which it stands. The Old English berg (hill) has been added to the river name. Ledbury was once home to the poetess Elizabeth Barrett Browning, who spent her childhood days at Hope End. It is also the birthplace of poet laureate John Masefield, after whom the local secondary school is now named - John Masefield High School (JMHS). Today, Ledbury is a thriving market town in rural England. It has a main-line rail connection to London. The town has a large number of timber framed buildings, in particular along Church Lane. Notable buildings in the area include the parish church, the Painted Room (containing sixteenth century frescoes), and Eastnor Castle.
