The town has a parish church dating back to Norman times.

Ledbury is a market town located to the west of the Malvern hills, some of the properties in Ledbury are built with timber-framed structure, some of which are grade 1 listed, such as the historical Market House which was built in 1617. Combine this architectural delight with the cobbled streets, leading to the Butcher Row House Museum, which provides a delightful glimpse into local Victorian life, creating a feeling of stepping back in time.
