More about this scene

Cleobury, pronounced Clibbery, was once a stronghold of the powerful Mortimer family; they also owned castles in, for example, Ludlow, Wigmore and Chirk. One member of the family even became King of England - Edward IV. The town also claims to be the birthplace of the 14th- century poet William Langland, although it has to be said that Ledbury and Great Malvern make the same claim.
