Ludlow is best known today for having constructed a house in the [[Civil Lines]], just outside the city walls of [[Old Delhi]], which was christened "[[Ludlow Castle, Delhi|Ludlow Castle]]," a [[play on words]] on his surname, the building's [[turret]], its decorative [[crenelation]]s, and the 11th-century [[Ludlow Castle|Ludlow Castle, Shropshire]]. Ludlow Castle, Delhi, was later to become the Residency at Delhi, and, still later, in September 1857, be the site of a [[Artillery battery|battery]] used by British troops in the [[Siege of Delhi]] to breach the city wall and retake the city. | Ludlow is best known today for having constructed a house in the [[Civil Lines]], just outside the city walls of [[Old Delhi]], which was christened "[[Ludlow Castle, Delhi|Ludlow Castle]]," a [[play on words]] on his surname, the building's [[Turret (architecture)|turret]], its decorative [[crenelation]]s, and the 11th-century [[Ludlow Castle|Ludlow Castle, Shropshire]].
