Delve into the medieval charms of WARWICK, an historic market town, full of architectural gems, where narrow cobbled streets are lined with pretty shops, quaint cafes and lovely parks are waiting to be explored.
Warwick is also the location of the LORD LEYCESTER HOSPITAL, “Architecturally – Priceless, Aesthetically – Enchanting and Historically – Fascinating”. Its Warwick’s answer to the Royal Hospital Chelsea, just smaller and older. During the reign of Elizabeth I it became a “Hospital”, a place of sanctuary taking care of fallen and deserving warriors. These beautiful timber-framed buildings, clustered around the Norman gateway, date back to the 14th and 15th centuries. They were built by the Guilds of Warwick; a Guildhall for meetings and a Great Hall for entertaining. Having only recently reopened after extensive renovations, its well worth a visit.
