When I first read the great book "Ludlow Through Time" by Dorothy Nicolle in 2013, when I was nine years old, I remember being amazed by the last page in the book; that was Heath Chapel, which is situated in the centre of a long lost Medieval settlement and is close to Brown Clee Hill. The chapel was established in the 11th century below the village earthworks, and had a thatched roof until 1912; that marked the last time anything new was added to the chapel, including the paint job in the interior! Though it was given alterations in the late 17th century, the chapel has remained the same in its use, status, size and style, which led to its long time national importance for this.
