A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LUDLOW

Introduction

David Lloyd was Ludlow’s foremost historian, as the number of entries relating to his work in this bibliography amply demonstrates. David began compiling this bibliography of Ludlow, but it was incomplete at the time of his death in 2009. The bulk of the entries here are those prepared by David, updated and revised by three other members of the Ludlow Historical Research Group, Roy Payne, John Barratt and Derek Beattie.
The bibliography includes printed material relating to the history of Ludlow. Many of the items listed may be found in the Local Studies Collection in Ludlow Library, others can be obtained via the inter-library loan service. Students of the town’s history should also be aware of the large collections of primary sources held elsewhere, particularly in the Shropshire Archives in Shrewsbury. Some of these, for example items from the earlier archives of Ludlow Town Council, have been transcribed, and are available in the Library.
By its very nature, a bibliography of this kind inevitably becomes outdated. It is hoped to produce annual supplements on the Research Group website, containing details of new publications, and indeed any earlier ones which have been omitted.
Note: “T.S.A.S” = “Transactions of the Shropshire Archaeological Society
