He is generally perceived as a lesser contemporary of Robert Fayrfax (Ludford's festal masses are preserved with those by Fayrfax in the great early 16th-century choirbooks at Lambeth Palace, London, and Caius College, Cambridge),and all that is commonly known of him is that his music defines the gap between Fayrfax and John Taverner.
Ludford's restricted circumstances resulted in his musical reputation being rather local and rather short-lived where Fayrfax's was wide and enduring, although forty years after his death, Thomas Morley mentions Ludford as one of the listed 'authorities' for his famous Introduction to Practicall Musicke (London, 1597).
Ludford was not well known in his own day and remained politically and musically inconspicuous throughout his career; he appears not to have taken a university degree and his name is not recorded in conjunction with any major events.
