The Friends of The Master’s House welcome you
The Master’s House has been at the heart of Ledbury life for more than 500 years.
It started life as a home for the Master of St Katherine’s Hospital. Successive occupants altered The Master’s House to suit their own needs. The building you see today is the product of all those changes.
It was most recently restored and redeveloped between 2011 and 2015 so it could return to its place at the centre of the community.
