The Lord Leycester - Historic Site and Gardens Discount Tickets

Overview

The Lord Leycester is one of the most remarkable medieval sites in Britain — and still home to a community of veterans today. Located on Warwick’s High Street beside the West Gate, the site has over 900 years of history, centred on the Chapel of St James the Great, built in 1123 above the town’s original gateway. Founded in 1571 by Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, it remains a working charitable home for former soldiers, known as the Brethren. Unlike a traditional museum, the Lord Leycester is a living community. Visitors can explore the medieval buildings, courtyard and gardens, and join guided tours led by the Brethren themselves. With a café and gift shop open to all, it offers a rare chance to experience history still being lived.
