Catherine of Aragon's Shropshire home

The original divorcee’s countryside lodge in the Shropshire town of Ludlow has hit the market.

Catherine of Aragon, the first wife of King Henry VIII, was a one-time resident at the Grade II*-listed townhouse. The three-storey stone and timber structure dates back to the 13th century but was rebuilt in 1580.
