Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Lord Leycester hotel (often known simply as the Lord Leycester) is a hotel in Warwick, United Kingdom, that is located on Jury Street in the centre of the town. The building has variously been private housing, a hotel, and an inn during its history.Jury Street House was built in the 16th century, and was originally the property of Ward of Barford, an Elizabethan merchant.In 1694, it was the 0.5 metre thick stone walls of Jury Street House that prevented the Great Fire of Warwick, which destroyed the town's centre, from progressing down Jury Street to the half-timbered houses beyond. In the 18th century the town centre was rebuilt in Georgian style, and Jury Street House was given the Georgian frontage that it has retained to 2005.
