Grange Court

Ludlow

Grange Court is the last surviving market house known to be built by John Abel, a local man who was honoured by King Charles I during the civil war with the title of King's Carpenter.

Built in 1633, Grange Court is almost 400 years old. The dramas and changes it has faced in its long history make for a fascinating story. This is told throughout the building, through our interpretation boards, displays, embroideries and temporary exhibitions. The building is free to visit. Offering a wide range of drinks, homemade cakes, light lunches and ice creams, the cafe@grangecourt is the perfect place to relax and enjoy our building and gardens. All the food is freshly made on the premises and served Mondays to Saturday 10am till 4pm and the proceeds support the building. Grange Court is also a great place to have a meeting, conference, party or wedding. Our historic rooms, with or without catering services, are available for hire throughout the year at very competitive prices. We are wheelchair accessible and free to visit, welcoming children and dogs.
