This PhD project focuses on the Lord Leycester Hospital, a Warwickshire Almshouse, founded by Robert Dudley in 1571. It explores how this elite philanthropic organisation operated within local, regional, and national frameworks over its first century, questioning how far its relationship to the town of Warwick was reciprocal, complementary, contested?
