Lord Leycester Hospital

Lord Leycester Hospital

Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I, converted the picture-book buildings of the dissolved Warwick Guilds into a retreat for old soldiers and it has continued to serve that purpose until the present day. The Brethren, as the inhabitants are known, attend weekday services in the ancient and beautiful chapel over the town's West Gate, which adjoins their home, and they still wear their blue gowns and flat Tudor hats on ceremonial occasions. The museum of the Queen's Own Hussars is in the Chaplain's Hall. A new knot-garden celebrates the millennium.
