 There has long been an Archdeacon of Ludlow, historically known as the Archdeacon of Shropshire, overseeing the other parishes in the southern part of the county (the part of the Hereford diocese that is within Shropshire).There is a Roman Catholic parish covering Ludlow, with its own church dedicated to St Peter on Henley Road.Construction began in 1935, using stone from nearby Farlow and building in a neo-Byzantine and plain Romanesque style.
