Master's House
01 January 2009 16:53
One of the oldest buildings in Ledbury, The Master’s House was the home of the Master of St Katherine’s Almshouses, which, with St Katherine’s Hall and Chapel and a 17th century timber-framed barn, form part of the St Katherine’s Hospital site, which occupies about 2 acres on the west side of High Street. Originally, the hospital site occupied almost two-thirds of the western frontage of the market place in Ledbury (‘the High Street).
Those buildings and the surrounding brick and stone walls are more important collectively than as individual buildings, being a very rare surviving example of a hospital complex.
