More about this scene

Around Ludlow South Along The River Teme Tenbury Wells, Teme Street 1898 Known in the past only as Tenbury, the Wells in its name was added in the late 19th century as a deliberate marketing ploy to promote the local mineral water. The waters from the Malvern Hills nearby were then, as now, much better known. Tenbury Wells, The Church 1892 We are just across the border in Worcestershire here. St Mary's church sits overlooking the River Teme (also the county boundary).
