Ludlow Lectures: Revisiting Ludlow and other planned Norman ‘New Towns’
A Talk by Keith Lilley
Tuesday 17 March 2026
2026 is a ‘Year of the Normans’ and offers an opportunity to look again at our towns with Norman heritage. Ludlow is one of these places, and this talk will use mapping as a way to compare Ludlow’s early urban development with other Norman “new towns” in England, Wales and Ireland. Keith Lilley is one of the UK’s foremost thinkers on this subject.
Each lecture starts at 10.00am and finishes at 12.00, with a coffee break in the middle. (Coffee may be ordered before the lecture, at the Bar.)
