Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)
LUDLOW.
Ludlow is an interesting town, with much of antiquity remaining. Its great Castle was once the most important fortress in the Middle Marches, where was held the Great Council of Wales. In its great hail was performed Milton's masque of Comus, written for the then Lord President, the Earl of Bridgwater; and here, later, Butler is believed to have written ' Hudibras." Soon after, it fell into disrepair. The scene of Comes is Mary Knoll Valley, hard by, in whose oak woods it is still possible to lose one's way. The great church of St. Lawrence, prominent in the view, is the finest in Shropshire, cruciform, with the lofty tower (built in the reign of Edward IV.) rising from the centre, and large chantry chapels in quite cathedral fashion. The town is also rich in old timber-ribbed and pargeted houses.
