Ludlow was a Roman settlement, and in Saxon times was designated Leadlotve. The castle, now an interest- ing ruin, was anciently a royal residence, in which Edward VI. was proclaimed king; and here also Milton wrote his Comus. The castle surrendered to the Par- liamentarians under Brereton in 1646. Corn mills, cabinet works, and tanneries are the only industrial establishments. Ludlow returned 1 member to Parlia- ment until 1885.
