About The Lord Leycester

The Lord Leycester, a collection of Grade I listed buildings built in the late 1300s, is not only one of the best preserved examples of medieval architecture in England and Europe, but remains an historic home for veterans to this day, with its Brethren welcoming people and carrying out dedicated tours of the site.

In recent years the site underwent a £5million transformation funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to National Lottery players and in partnership with other national and local community donors.
