About The Lord Leycester

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 in 1380, and later acquired by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester in 1571. Within the buildings, Dudley founded a home for retired soldiers called ‘Brethren’. Having undergone a £5m restoration project, The Lord Leycester has been transformed into a modern heritage visitor attraction with fascinating displays showcasing the site’s rich history, improved accessibility and updated facilities, including a new Café and Gift Shop.
