From their website :-
The Tower of St. Laurence's is one of the first things a visitor to Ludlow notices. In its present form the church has stood in the centre of Ludlow for some 550 years. The written record of a parish church on the same site goes back over 800 years to 1199.
After its initial Norman construction in the 11th Century AD, the church was expanded and rebuilt in 1199 to accommodate Ludlow's growing population. During the late Middle Ages Ludlow became a wealthy wool town, to befit this growing prosperity St Laurence's underwent several further additions. The major works occurred between 1433 and 1471 with a virtual re-building of the nave, tower and chancel elements. The tower took on a Perpendicular style which was fashionable in England in the 15th century.
