ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Compiling this volume has taken a long time, it is a summary of volumes 1-4with an index both general and by individual Ludlow names. Mythanks to Douglas Ludlow, Anthony Ludlow, Margaret Ludlow, BrianLudlow and in particular Primrose my wife, who have always given meenthusiastic support.

A special thanks to Helen Waters who very kindly took on the task oftyping the manuscript and index. Without her un-failing support thisproject could not have been completed.

Early Years

The first Ludlow I have found was alive in 1150 and living in Shrewsbury. OtherLudlows are mentioned but not in any great detail until 1250 or thereabouts.Nicholas de Ludlow, wool merchant to Edward, son of Henry II, and later Edward I, isthen mentioned frequently and acknowledged at the time as the richest woolmerchant in England. His son, Laurence de Ludlow, the Kings wool merchant andbuilder of Stokesay Castle, was declared even wealthier than his father.

DNA testing indicates that those who subsequently named themselves de Ludlowwere of Celtic origin, dating back some 9,000 years (Welsh Marches). It is notknown how the family started (the name Ludlow was not mentioned in the DomesdayBook). After the Norman Conquest, Walter de Lacy, of Lassy inNormandy, was granted land and estates in the west of England, including what is nowStanton Lacy, Salop, an estate on which Ludlow Castle and the town weresubsequently built. The Castle building is thought to have been started around 1090and would have taken several years to complete.

It would have been around this time that the castle and small town were namedLudlow. The construction of the castle would have been managed by someone otherthan the owner, Lacy, and I believe that that is where the Ludlow family begins,although I have no factual evidence. The first member of the family was probablyknown only by one name, John, perhaps, and he might have been appointed steward ofthe castle building programme and manager of the Lacy family affairs in theirabsence. A stewards appointment gave the appointee an opportunity to accumulatewealth and, once the building was completed, John could have moved toShrewsbury, called himself John de Ludlow, and used his newly-found management skillsto prosper as a free enterprise businessman in the wool trade.

Stokesay in Shropsh i re

Nicholas de Ludlow of Shrewsbury (where the headquarters of the family business waslocated) had three sons, Laurence, John and Thomas (all three are mentioned at the topof the Stokesay pedigree). Laurence purchased Stokesay; he fortified it andtoday the castle is known as the finest example of an early English medieval moated andfortified manor house. Apart from being international, Laurence also managedthe family wool business in Ludlow. Laurence de Ludlow qualified for knighthood. TheLudlow family possessed Stokesay, Salop, for 217 years (nine generations) from1281-1498 and, during this period, nine Ludlows were made Knights of the Shire andfour members of the family were appointed Sheriffs of Shropshire twelve times.

The Ludlows were an established Shropshire family; wealthy, property andlandowning, and influential in the county as well as at Court. Many Ludlows fought forKing and Country against the French, the Scots and the Welsh. Some died,others were wounded and some taken prisoner by the French. As there was noorganised withdrawal or repatriation from the theatre of war, many made their ownway home. It took months or even years to make the journey, sometimes to findthat their families had presumed them dead and their properties had been sold.Many became Justices of the Peace, Members of Parliament, Commissioners, Oyers andTermors, and County Escheators.

The Stokesay Ludlows owned many other properties, including Hodnet andWestbury, where there were dwelling houses which was not on the scale of Stokesay butnevertheless quite large, so the family was usually spread between them. Inabout 1450 a branch of the Stokesay family moved to the More House (now calledMore Hall) at Shipton in the Corvedale Valley. The family lived at Shipton for manyyears and the branch flourished. I will shortly be working on this part of thepedigree because it will take us into the 19 th century. I will then, hopefully and withthe help of the late Keith Ludlows list, pick up some descendants of this branch alivetoday. I shall encourage a male Ludlow to take a DNA test and then we will knowwhether all three published pedigrees are a DNA match. There is a small memorialin the Shipton Church to a Laurence Ludlow and his ten children.

Spread ing ou t

The Ludlows that did not inherit Stokesay and there were many went into thechurch and the army (there were continuous wars in the British Isles and France andcrusades to the East). Others sought their fortunes in London and Bristol, or intrade. One very popular way of getting on in the world in those days was to seek aposition in one of the great households, the Royal Household being the mostselective and the most sought after.

In the early part of the 14 th century, Ludlow Hall was established at Oxford and this wasprobably financed by the Ludlow family wool trade. Two centuries later it wasamalgamated with University College (William de Ludlow was Chancellor of OxfordUniversity in 1255).

Thomas Ludlow was Abbot of Battle Abbey, Sussex, from 1417-1434 and anotherThomas Ludlow was Abbot of Shrewsbury Abbey, Salop from 1433-1459; he died inoffice. John Ludlow was appointed Abbot of Haughmond Abbey, Salop, in 1464.

Several Stokesay Ludlows were killed during heated confrontations, including William deLudlow in 1340, his elder brother Sir Laurence de Ludlow, in Ludlow in 1353, andSir Laurences second son William de Ludlow in 1381. Several Ludlows misbehavedand several were outlawed.

Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire

Nicholas de Ludlows second son, John, (see Stokesay pedigree) was also a woolmerchant and he set up a subsidiary of the family business in Chipping Campden,Glos. Like his brother Laurence, John was also involved in the wool trade in Europe.The brothers were hugely successful but both were drowned off the coast ofAldeburgh, Suffolk, in 1294, when the Kings wool fleet heading for Bruges andcommanded by Laurence de Ludlow was hit by a great storm in which many shipsand their crews were lost. Laurence de Ludlows body was recovered and was buried atLudlow. Both Laurence and John qualified for knighthood.

John de Ludlows heir, Bogo de Ludlow, inherited the Chipping Campden estatewhich continued to flourish for several generations. John had married Isabel, thewidow of Richard Borrey, a Shrewsbury wool merchant. Isabel had had two or threesons by Richard Borrey. After Johns death, Isabel left Chipping Campden to herson, Bogo de Ludlow. She then returned to Shrewsbury and her Borrey sons, changingher name back to Borrey and becoming a very influential and wealthywoman in her own right. She entertained Edward II when he visited Shrewsbury.

Some time later there was a dispute in Shrewsbury between the Ludlows and theBorreys, probably over an inheritance, and a Borrey son murdered his stepbrother,Bogo de Ludlow.

Ludlows continued to own property in Chipping Campden until 1426 when it passed toSir Baldwin Strange through marriage to the heiress Margaret Ludlow.

Scrivelsby in Lincolnshire

Nicholas de Ludlows third son, Thomas, was also in the wool trade and established atrading station in the Lincolnshire wolds. He married Joan, daughter and co-heiressof Philip Marmion and, through this marriage, acquired the manor of Scrivelsby,Lincs. On Philip Marmions death, Thomas also inherited the title of Kings Champion. Thistitle subsequently passed (by marriage of Thomas de Ludlows only daughterand sole heiress) to the Dymock family, who have held the title to the present day.Thomas de Ludlow was knighted (Knight of Bath) by Edward II in 1306 and alsoqualified for knighthood in Surrey, where he held several properties in Mitcham andWeybridge.

Hill Deverill in Wiltshire

William Ludlow (1395-1478) founded the Hill Deverill branch of the Ludlow family in1438 when he acquired the manor of Hill Deverill, Wilts. Before his move to Wiltshirehe was very involved in the wool and cloth industry in London and Middlesex. He was amember of the Royal Household and served Henry IV, Henry V and Henry VI.He was a Kings Serjeant (the rank falls between a knight and an esquire). He was a Yeomanof the Cellar for 20 years, along with Richard Ludlow, who was Serjeant ofthe Cellar. William married Margaret, daughter and heiress of William Rymer ofRingwood, Hants. Margarets maternal grandfather was William Warmwell. He wasMP for Salisbury, very influential and wealthy. The Warmwell influence helped WilliamLudlow into politics William became MP for Ludgershall, Wilts andsubsequently MP for Salisbury. He was also Gauger in London (1437-50) and Gauger inHull (1443-50) to mention just a few of his appointments. He was never Butler tothree Kings but was Bouteiller, the French for official in charge of wines. He wassometimes described as a Serjeant of the Cellar but more often as Yeoman. This rolekept him busy as he and a few others were responsible for the purchase andstorage of wines and ales. Drinking water was unsafe at this time and, with theCourt numbering many hundreds and only drinking wine and ale, the consumption wasenormous and the logistics a major responsibility as the Monarch travelledcontinuously.

William held considerable property in Salisbury he built the Blue Boar Inn withtimber felled from his woods in Hill Deverill. He also had other land in Wiltshire aswell as in Berkshire, Sussex and Southamptonshire. He was frequently in London,and on these visits, lived in a substantial house in the City. He spent more time inLondon and Salisbury than he did at Hill Deverill and financially supported StThomas Church in Salisbury, where he and his wife were buried. A large marbletomb was erected in their memory but this was broken up when the church wasrestored in the 19 th century. Church records disclose that his family Arms and the Lionrampant of the Ludlows of Shropshire adorned the tomb. Williams daughterMargaret married Thomas Tropenell, the owner of the manor of East Chalfield, Wilts. ThePublic Record Office at Kew has lost an IPM that indicated that William Ludlowwas descended from a Ludlow of Chipping Campden, Glos.

Williams descendants

The Ludlows of Hill Deverill continued to be influential and to prosper. Several wereappointed High Sheriffs of Wiltshire; George (1568), Sir Edmund MP (1586), SirHenry MP (1633), Edmund Ludlow MP (1645). Two Shipton Moyne Ludlows wholived at Heywood House, Westbury, Wilts; Abraham (1810), and Henry (1850) werealso appointed in their time.

Sir Edmund Ludlow was MP for Hindon, Wilts in 1603, and his son, Sir Henry Ludlowwas MP for Wiltshire (1640). His (Henrys) son, Edmund Ludlow, Parliamentarianand Regicide, was MP for Wilts in 1642. Edmund Ludlow signed Charles I st deathwarrant and was Commander of the forces in Ireland (Lieutenant General of Horse).

Several members of the family went to Ireland with Edmund and founded the Irishbranch of the family. They were the ancestors of the Earls Ludlow (an Irishpeerage). Several other Ludlows served the Cromwellian cause and lost their lives.

Roger Ludlow went to America and became a substantial landowner and DeputyGovernor of Massachusetts and Connecticut (1660).

Philip Ludlow, Edmunds brother, died at sea while in command of a fleet of shipsreturning from South America. His body was recovered and buried in WestminsterAbbey (tomb visible).

Gabriel Ludlow (1634) also went to America and helped to found the American branch ofthe family. The Hill Deverill branch of the family multiplied and theymoved to Southampton, London, Bristol, Surrey, Berks, Bucks, Kent and Essex.Descendants of this branch are still to be discovered.

Shipton Moyne in Glouces tersh i re

Stephen Ludlow of Shipton Moyne, Glos, circa 1470, was the fourth son of anunknown Ludlow. The family flourished and expanded into Somerset, Wiltshire,Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, London, Birmingham and Bristol. To startwith, the family remained closely associated with agriculture but as time movedon various trades were learned and several became professionals; doctors, surgeons,barristers, soldiers, sailors, brewers and businessmen. This branch of the familycontinues to flourish and provides the drive behind the current research into eachbranch of the family at every level.

Ninety Ludlows are recorded by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission as havinglost their lives in the two World Wars.
