St Laurence's Church in Ludlow is the largest parish church in Shropshire, often called Cathedral of the Marches.
Most of the construction dates from 1433 to 1471, built on 11th century foundations. The church is in the Perpendicular style,
The chancel features an incredibly detailed choir screen and stalls. There are many uniquely carved misericords, featuring heraldry, beasts, animals and scenes of everyday life.
The large stained glass windows are stunning. The east window depicts the matyrdom of St Laurence. The west window shows many kings and saints.
Many of the occupants of Ludlow Castle are buried in the church, including the bowels of Arthur, Prince of Wales, son of Henry VII, in a lead box beneath the choir.
