Round Chapel

Sometimes called the Norman Chapel, the Round Chapel in the midst of the Inner Bailey was possibly built by Hugh de Lacy.

The Chapel is dedicated to St Mary Magdelene and is the most important chapel at Ludlow Castle.

It has a circular nave, which is still standing, and a ruined rectangular chancel. Round chapels like this were associated with The Knights Templar who would have seen such round church buildings whilst on the First Crusade in 1099.
