The early history of Ludlow has been so well detailed by Mr. Eyton in his Antiquities of Shropshire, and has been so elaborately illustrated by Mr. Wright in his volume specially devoted to the subject, that I need not enlarge on its general history in endeavouring to elucidate the recently discovered remains of the Priory of Austin Friars. I cannot, however, refrain from quoting the graphic description of Churchyarde, who, writing in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, thus describes Ludlow:—
The Town doth stand most part upon an hill,
Built well and fair, with streets both large and wide,
The houses such where strangers lodge at will,
As long as there the Council liste abide.
Both fine and clean the streets are all throughout,
With condits cleere and wholesome water springe,
And who that list to walk the Town about,
Shall find therein some rare and pleasant thinge;
But chiefly here the ayre so sweet you have,
As in no place you can no better crave.
