Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Feathers Hotel, Ludlow The oldest part of the hotel, including the world-famous timber façade, was built in 1619. The name comes from the motifs of ostrich feathers forming part of the timber framed façade. The Feathers remained an inn for the next 200 years and was occasionally used as a venue for cock-fighting and prize-fighting. It was also at the centre of politics in the town when candidates for parliamentary elections would make speeches from the hotel balcony then invite voters inside for a drink to help secure their votes.
From 1863 the Feathers became known as a hotel and since then has gradually evolved and expanded through the acquisition of properties on either side of the original house. Information gathered from the hotel's website at http://feathersatludlow.co.uk/history.htm |
