A wonderful, simple, dilapidated cemetery. In the shadow of the imposing church, you feel invited to study the old gravestones.

The Lord Leycester Hospital (often known simply as Lord Leycester) is one of the best-preserved examples of medieval court architecture in England and a charity supporting former soldiers. It is located in Warwick, England, next to the West Gate on the High Street. It is a Category I listed building.[1] The hospital is an outstanding and internationally renowned Warwick landmark. Buildings and civic activities have taken place on the site for nearly 900 years, beginning with the chapel built in 1126. The site was donated to the United Guild of the Holy Trinity and St. George in the 14th century by the 12th Earl of Warwick. The Guild Hall, Great Hall and Master's House were built in the late 15th century. Over the centuries, the ancient buildings and 500 year old gardens have been visited by many famous visitors such as Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde, etc. Wikipedia

The many crooked walls alone are worth a visit. Everything was very nicely done.

The Tudor House has been closed for a few years, now. There are a couple of pubs/bars nearby, The Castle Pub next to the Tudor is vibrant, the Old Post Office is quirky and traditional and the Four Penny nearby has rooms and great food.

Beautiful front door could hold back an army

The parish church of ST. PETER dates from 1826 and is interesting as being one of the earliest and best examples of the work of the 19th-century 'Gothic revivalists'. It was designed by T. Rickman and consists of a chancel, nave with a clearstory, north and south aisles, north porch, and west tower. In 1858 the east end was remodelled by Sir Gilbert Scott, who provided the chancel with an apsidal end: he also refurnished the church. The medieval church, which stood 'not exactly on the same site' as the present building, was completely demolished in 1826. A drawing made a few years before its destruction shows that it consisted of a chancel, nave with clearstory and south porch, south chapel, and western tower. The chapel appears to have been of 13th-century date, and the visible details of the rest of the church belong to the 14th and 15th centuries. The tower is finished off with a plain parapet and the roofs are leaded and low-pitched. There is one bell dated 1826. The old church, how ever, had 6 bells in 1750. Three of the bells were recast at Woodstockpresumably by Richard Keenein 16713 at a cost of 104 14s. 7d., of which nearly half was contributed by the rector, John Rogers. The register of baptisms begins in 1553 and of marriages and burials in 1556. The earliest volume contains the entry 'md. the note of those yt. were bapt. 1646 was torne by the souldiers'. The registers and other parish records are now deposited at the Shire Hall, Warwick. The only ancient feature preserved is two squares, each of four inlaid 4 in. tiles, probably of the 14th century, in the south aisle. One is a set forming a complete quatrefoil and foliage pattern. The other has three shields of arms; two are charged checky white and red and have oak leaf and acorn designs above them; another has a lion and is flanked by monsters. The fourth tile has a quatrefoil of pointed lobes, one has a running hound, chasing a hare on the opposite lobe, and the other two have human-faced monsters. Also in the south-aisle floor is a small brass inscription to Richard Popham, gentleman and steward to the Lucys, died 1730, aged 45. A leaden seal of Pope Innocent VI was found in a grave in the new churchyard in 1934 and is now preserved at the west end of the church. It has been suggested that it was perhaps attached to the licence issued in 1356 authorizing the rector, Simon de Gaynesburgh, to exchange livings with Thomas Mershton.

Charlecote Mill, a watermill recorded in the Domesday Survey and in written sources from the Post Medieval to the Modern periods. The present building dates to the 18th century, with two undershot water wheels, and two sets of milling machinery. It was restored in 1978. The mill as you see it today was probably built in the eighteenth century, but on the site of earlier mills. A mill at Hampton Lucy is even mentioned in the Doomsday Book (compiled 1086).  It was then valued at 6s.8d. Little is known of the mills and their millers over the years, but a noticeable incident occurred in 1675 when the miller John Dickens and three other men were indicted for 'the felonious stealing and carrying of two perches and  two pikes of the value of 11d, of the goods and chattels of Richard Lucy  Esq.' Dickens and Robert Nason  confessed, and were sentenced to be 'stripped from the waist downwards and openly whipped through the town of Hampton Lucy till their bodies be bloody'. The present mill building and mill house were evidently built by the Lucy estate, and are still owned by Sir Edmund Fairfax Lucy.The present mill, apparently built in 1752, is a particularly fine building, with walls eighteen inches thick. The names of the millers in the nineteenth and early twentieth century can be ascertained from trade directories, etc.  The name of one, William Witherington, who was miller from 1845 to 1864, can be seen carved in the brickwork on the top floor. The last millers were Newbery and Son, from 1936 to the 1950's; however, they used mostly an engine-driven hammer mill, and from the time of the Second World War, the only equipment driven by waterpower was the sack hoist. From 1978, John Bedington had a lease over the mill and he and Tom Mitchell, aided by a band of helpers too numerous to mention, have done extensive repairs to the roof, windows, floor, stairs and doors, gears, stones, sack hoist and bins and the East water wheel. The West water wheel was repaired in 1978 by the Birmingham millwright Bob Atkins at the expense of the BBC for their film of 'The Mill on the Floss'.

The dam, sluice, race and pond associated with Charlecote watermill. They date to the Post Medieval period, and are situated to the west of the restored mill, 300m north east of the church at Hampton Lucy.
