Easton Court and Ludlow Court
« on: Sunday 07 July 24 12:49 BST (UK) »
Have any of you clever people heard of or know anything about either of the two buildings mentioned above?
I ask because in my great grandmother's diary (1880-1920) she records that her family, the Prestons, lived in both of these places for a period.
She seemed to have lived a very privileged life with servants, etc.
I'd be grateful for any information,
Kind Regards
AJ

Added - I must admit that I havn't heard of Ludlow Court - Could it be associated with the castle?

To date, only spotted a Colonel Courtenay Morgan at Ludlow Court - but the County is  Herefordshire.

Eastham Court is also in Herefordshire on the edge of Shropshire

Thank you Kay- I hadn't seen that and totally forgot that I had sent extracts from GGM's diary to anyone. It really is interesting, thank you again.
And thank you and Hanes for pointing out that the county is Herfordshire.
In the diary the party, travelling from London, got off the train at Craven Arms and were transported to their destination in a carriage/trap beling to a 'Dick o' Broome.' Does this ring any bells witith anyone?

Craven Arms is a village and railway station north of Ludlow.

It seems a strange place to leave the train from London to get to Easton Court. Or was this a journey to Ludlow Court?

I wonder if Dick o' Broome refered to a man from the village of Broome to the south west of Craven Arms? https://maps.nls.uk/view/239764717#zoom=5&lat=1982&lon=2601&layers=BT

The only reference I had found to "Ludlow Court" was a 1909 newspaper reference - col 1
https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3379330/3379333/53/%22ludlow%2BOR%2Bcourt%22

Following up Colonel Courtenay Morgan, his address in the newspapers (1895-1903) is given as "Ashford Court", near Ludlow
https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3370596/3370598/34/%22ashford%2BOR%2Bcourt%22

'Tis a puzzle.
