The Lord Leycester Hospital in Warwick, United Kingdom, is a historic group of timber-framed buildings dating back to the 14th century. Originally established as a retirement home for aged or injured soldiers and their wives, the hospital has a rich history tied to the charitable works initiated by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, in 1571. The complex includes the medieval Chapel of St. James, the Great Hall, and the Master's House, all set around picturesque courtyards. Today, the Lord Leycester Hospital serves as a museum and a venue for various cultural events, while still housing retired servicemen known as the Brethren.
