Lord Leycester Hospital, Warwick. Formerly the headquarters of the United Guilds of Warwick, these medieval buildings were acquired by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester who, in 1571 under a charter granted by Queen Elizabeth I, founded a hospital for aged or disabled soldiers and their wives on the site. In the background is the 14th century Chantry Chapel of St James, built above the West Gate into Warwick by Thomas Beauchamp, 12th Earl of Warwick.
