Warwick, England CV34 4BH
The Lord Leycester is a group of medieval timber-framed buildings dating back to the 14th Century. They represent one of the finest examples in Britain of medieval courtyard architecture. For nearly 200 years this site was home to Warwick’s medieval Guilds, the in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, under the patronage of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, the buildings became a place of retirement for old warriors. These soldiers are known to this day as the Brethren and with the Master, still live within the walls of the building. A 450-year-old legacy! ​ Following a £4.5 million investment, with almost £2 million from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, we are set to re-open in summer 2023. Our project will transform the Lord Leycester into a modern, authentic visitor attraction featuring stories of the heritage buildings, and residents past and present. It will also include a new gift shop, cafe, and ticket office. Tickets are on sale now, please visit our website to book online.
