St Laurence's Church, Ludlow, Medieval parish church in Ludlow, England
St Laurence's Church features a 157-foot tower, extensive misericords in the choir stalls, and detailed wood carvings throughout its structure.
The church foundation dates to 1199 when Norman settlers established it to serve the growing population of the developing town.
The Palmer's Guild, operating from 1250 to 1551, managed the church affairs and provided spiritual services to members across the West Midlands region.
The church opens daily for visitors and maintains a shop selling religious items, operating from Monday through Saturday between 10 AM and 5 PM.
Twenty-eight medieval misericords within the church display intricate carvings that tell stories of local life and regional history through wooden artistry.
