Ludford, Lincolnshire
Ludford is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. The parish is composed of the villages of Ludford Magna and Ludford Parva. History Former deserted villages that are part of the parish were wiped out by the Black Death. In 1885 ''Kelly's Directory'' noted the two separate settlements and parishes of Ludford Magna and Ludford Parva, both using the Church of SS Mary and Peter at Magna, a previous church at Parva showing no remains. The rebuilt church is described as containing a chancel, nave, transepts, a turret with one bell, and a south porch. A "handsome" stained glass window had been placed in the church by the inhabitants of the village in memory of a former rector. The living was combined with that of Parva, with the church register dating from 1696. Parva contained a Wesleyan and a Free Methodist chapel. A National School at Magna, built in 1853 and enlarged in 1874, held 150 children, with an average attendance of 130. Th ...

Nicholas Ludford
Nicholas Ludford (c. 1485 – 1557) was an English composer of the Tudor period. He is known for his festal masses, which are preserved in two early-16th-century choirbooks, the Caius Choirbook at Caius College, Cambridge, and the Lambeth Choirbook at Lambeth Palace, London. His surviving antiphons, all incomplete, are copied in the Peterhouse Partbooks (Henrican set). Ludford is well-known as being the composer of the only surviving cycle of Lady Masses, small-scale settings of the Ordinary and Propers in three parts to be sung in the smaller chapels of religious institutions on each day of the week. Ludford's composing career, which appears to have ended in 1535, is seen as bridging the gap between the music of Robert Fayrfax and that of John Taverner (1495–1545).Skinner, 1993. Music scholar David Skinner has called Ludford "one of the last unsung geniuses of Tudor polyphony".Skinner, 1993. In his ''Oxford History of English Music'', John Caldwell observes of Ludford's six-p ...
