The timber-framed Butcher Row House, which until 1830 had been part of a row of 15 burgage houses and shops, was once sited in the middle of Ledbury High Street. The earliest reference to it was as a shop in 1468. It is now home to the Folk Museum displaying objects of local history including a collection of musical instruments, from a hurdy-gurdy to a Tibetan pipe made from a thigh bone, and reproduction helmets and breastplates as worn in the Battle of Ledbury in 1645. Admission is free.
