Lord Leycester Hospital, Medieval hospital building in Warwick, England.
The Lord Leycester Hospital features half-timbered structures arranged around a central courtyard with wooden galleries and decorated coats of arms throughout the complex.
Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, established this residence in 1571 under Queen Elizabeth I's charter to provide accommodation for retired soldiers and their spouses.
The medieval buildings include a Great Hall, originally serving as the Guildhall of Warwick's merchant guilds, where local corporations conducted their affairs.
The hospital opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM, offering guided tours and maintaining a café that accepts canine visitors.
The complex survived the Great Fire of 1694 when favorable winds protected its wooden structures, while much of Warwick burned down.
