Wigmore, LEOMINSTER, HR6 9UA

Castle Cottage in Castle Street was formerly two dwellings and a cobblers shop - now all one house. Built in the 17th century with mid 19th and mid 20th century alterations. Timber framed with brick and rendered infill, all under a slate roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1349894 The village of Wigmore is set astride the A4110 road some 8 miles west of Ludlow in the northwest part of Herefordshire. An Anglo-Saxon village which, after the building of the castle, became a small but thriving market town. Wigmore declined when the castle owners moved their administrative centre to Ludlow and reverted to village status.

A general view of the small Herefordshire village of Wigmore. The school and its playing fields are in the background; in the foreground are some of the houses on Castle Street.

Restored shaft and head on standard Herefordshire 14th century base, complete with ogee headed niche.

This cross is right outside the church, and is possibly a memorial to something that happened long ago. Not to the world war though, as this exists inside the church already: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5685716v

Here is the churchyard cross at St. James' church in Wigmore, which is placed east of the south aisle.

Here is the grade I listed parish church of St. James, which was established in the late 11th century. This was partly rebuilt and extended in the 14th century and was restored by G Bodley in 1864. This was originally going to have a major refurbishment in the interior in 2019 although that never happened.

In the churchyard of the church of St James is this cross with a 14th century base. The plinth and the shaft and cross are all from the 19th century restoration.
