THE Bishop of Hereford is visiting Ludlow today.

Bishop Richard Frith will visit Ludlow CE School on Bromfield Road early in the day.

He will then attend the toddlers group at St. Laurence’s Church.

The group first started in St.John's Church but was invited to meet at St Laurence’s after part of St. John’s had to be physically closed off.

Bishop Richard will then pay a visit to the Ludlow Foyer, a residential facility for homeless young people from throughout Shropshire.

He will have the opportunity to meet with some of the young people using it, as well as a number of the Foyer's supporters.

Later in the day he will meet with the churchwardens of St.Laurence’s.

Bishop Richard will then have a meeting at Ludlow's Methodist Church to talk with representatives of Churches Together Around Ludlow to discuss their reports ‘Ludlow Under Pressure’ and ‘Ludlow Under Continuing Pressure’.

Finally, Bishop Richard will have a meeting at Ludlow Town Council. He will meet with the town clerk, mayor, deputy mayor, and some of the councillors to discuss issues concerning the town and the impact of decisions taken at county level.
