Description
The Lord Leycester is one of Europe’s most important medieval buildings. Visitors can explore the ancient buildings, see fascinating displays, beautiful gardens and visit the Café or Gift Shop.
The Lord Leycester is one of Europe’s most important medieval buildings. Situated in the heart of Warwick next to the original West Gate of the town, it was built by the Guilds in 1380, and later acquired by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester in 1571. The buildings feature a Medieval Banqueting Hall, Guildhall and 900-year-old Chapel.
Having undergone a £5m restoration, completed in August 2023, The Lord Leycester has been transformed into a modern heritage visitor attraction with fascinating displays showcasing the site’s rich history and updated facilities, including a new Café and Gift Shop. Visitors can also relax in the 500-year-old Master's Garden, a tranquil oasis in the centre of town.
Within the impressive half-timbered buildings, Dudley founded a home for retired soldiers called ‘Brethren’ and installed a Master to oversee the running of the organisation. This is a tradition that has continued for over 450 years.
