The Friends of The Master’s House welcome you

The Master’s House is home to Ledbury’s Library and much more. It has Ledbury’s Community Resource Area where you can find out what’s been going on, get information on forthcoming events, explore local oral histories and, of course, understand more about the history of this extraordinary building.

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.

Forthcoming Events

Ringing the Changes with Tim Keyes Thursday 20 February 7pm – 8.30pm.     A journey with the church bells of Ledbury through 1,000 years of history and literature, and accompanied by some very colourful characters, both real and fictional.

The Story of Lancing College Chapel Friday 13 March 7.00pm – 8.30pm.     Lancing Chapel is comparable to the great French Gothic Cathedrals and contains the biggest Rose Window in the UK.  This illustrated talk, given by Ian Beer, CBE who was Head Master there from 1969 to 1981, will span the period 1868, when the Foundation Stone was laid, to 2020 when the Chapel will finally be completed.

Creating your Sketchbook Journal with Jeanette McCulloch Monday 23, Monday 30 March and Monday 6 April 10am – 1pm. Keeping a sketchbook or journal can be daunting, these workshops will explore practical and creative possibilities and are about ideas and how to develop them.
