This magnificent range of 14th and 15th Century half-timbered buildings was adapted into almshouses by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, in 1571. Never a medical establishment, the Hospital still provides homes for ex-Servicemen and their wives. The Guildhall, Great Hall, Chantry Chapel, galleried courtyard and Brethren's Kitchen are still in everyday use and open to visitors. The Hospital has featured in many television and film productions including Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth the Virgin Queen, David Dimbelby's How We Built Britain and Doctor Who. The buildings also house the museum of the West Midlands' cavalry regiment – the Queen's Own Hussars. The beautiful, historic Master’s Garden is a real treat and has featured in Country Life and BBC's Gardener’s World.
