The
site of Ludlow Castle was in a corner of the important manor of Stanton,
held since 1066 by the de Lacy family. The level building surface
and the steep slopes to the north and west made this a fine
defensive position. The rivers Teme and Corve gave further
protection. Most of the castle was built of chunky Silurian limestone
quarried from its own site. It was one of a line of Norman castles
along the Marches, built to pacify the countryside and hold back the
unconquered Welsh.
The de Lacys and their heirs retained the lordship until the late 13th
century.
