Two bakers. One professional, one novice. Brought together through a passion for Real Bread and a mission to share it with the local community. Peter Cook was Head Baker at Price & Sons in Ludlow for over 20 years, winning Best Speciality Loaf at the Baking Industry Awards and many other top industry awards. Shona Kelly, a former marketer in London, swapped the city for the country and an office for a bakery. A home-baker turned pro, learning on the job as she went. They opened their doors in March 2014 and have since won several Awards, including the top prize at the World Bread Awards and Best Food Producer at the Visit Herefordshire Awards for Excellence for the past two years. You’ll find no added nonsense in their loaves. Just four ingredients – organic flour, water, yeast (mostly wild) and sea salt. Flavour is developed naturally, with each loaf made slowly by hand over two-three days. This long fermentation provides you with a hearty, nutritious loaf that is easy to digest. Their best-selling ‘Ledbury Loaf’ is three days in the making and makes great toast for up to a week. You’ll find their bread and pastries on the shelves […]

The Godwins Hotel is a charming Grade II listed building noted for its striking red brick gothic appearance. It was built in 1879-1880 for William H Godwin of Godwins Tiles, who had their factory in the neighbouring village of Lugwardine. In October 1853 the Hereford Times declared of Godwins Tiles that “the variety of designs and the richness of the colours were alike and very much admired”. For half a century they enjoyed national and international acclaim and brought unprecedented attention to a quiet corner of Herefordshire. 150 years later these beautiful multicoloured tiles covering floors, fireplaces and wall borders are still appreciated by our guests. Outside there is a large car park with a lawn to one side and a stone-slabbed patio, plus a large children’s play area.

MANORS MAKETH MAN EXHIBITION

Hereford Cathedral Library & Archives team have unveiled their latest Manors Maketh Man Exhibition within the Mappa Mundi & Chained Library Exhibition which explores Hereford Cathedral’s Manors in the Middle Ages and Beyond. Hereford Cathedral’s main source of income previously came from manors, and preserved in the Cathedral Archives is a treasure trove of manorial records that are only just beginning to be explored. Manors Maketh Man delves into these records, from medieval times onwards, and presents some of the fascinating human stories found within them. The manor in England and Wales touched the lives of people of all walks of life, from before the Norman Conquest to the twentieth century. The records it produced are a fantastic but underused source for understanding the lives of ordinary people. This exhibition looks at what a manor was, what records can tell us about land, family, community, law and order, and life and death in Herefordshire over the centuries. One of the pieces within the exhibition is the cathedral’s oldest book, the Hereford Gospels, which written around the year 800. It also includes records added in the first half of the 11th century confirming the rights of an unnamed woman to grant land to […]

Dinners were cooked over open fires and children picked hops into old upturned umbrellas, while their mothers worked at the cribs.
