Ludford

Ludford is a village and parish in the East Midlands of England. There is Muggle Ludford and Wizard Ludford - you can access Wizard Ludford from Muggle Ludford by going through the Ludford Muggle Co-op through a secret passage known only to Wizards who reside in Ludford.

History
In AD.1065, two Wizards, Aart Pitersson and Moira Oswaldsson (A Ravenclaw and a Slytherin), arrived in Lincolnshire and founded a village - they called it Lud Fod (see Etymology) (which later developed to Ludford). There is not much wizarding history in Ludford, just Muggle history; right until the birth of the Peterson family and the Carragher family (related to Aart Pitersson).

Etymology
Ludford deriving from "Lud Fod". Lud being Modern-German for "Forthcoming" and Fod being Modern-Danish for "Foot". The most probable reason for the naming was that Aart and Moira didn't Apparate but walked to Ludford from London (which is 145 miles) and there travel was known accross the country as "The Walk of the Century"
