[Warwick Castle.] 24. [The Castle as it now stands is chiefly a fournteenth century building. The strategic position of Warwick was realised long before the present building was erected, and earthworks may be seen of the fort completed by Ethelgleda, a daughter of Alfred the Great. The Castle has been rebuilt on more than one occasion, and the building as it stands to-day is largely as it was left by Sir Fulke Greville, a direct ancester of the Earl of Warwick. On the right is Beauchamp's Tower, or Guy's Tower, 120 ft. high, which as built by Thomas de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick. On the left is Caesar's Tower, built a few years earlier. The buildings include the great hall, state rooms and domestic buildings. The hall and the passages around contain fine collections of arms and armous, and in the state rooms are many pictures and works of art, some of considerable value. Sir Walter Scott, viewing the Castle in 1828, called it "the noblest sight in England. The finest monument of ancient and chivalrous splendour that yet remains to us uninjured by time."]

[Guy's Cliffe, Warwick.] 14. [The road from Warwick to Kenilworth passes the Avenue of Guy's Cliffe. The story of Guy, Earl of Warwick, is one of the most popular romances of chivalry. Guy, it is said, left England to fight in Palestine, and returned to perform great feats of valour. Afterwards, instead of accepting the King's favour and returning to his wife, he became a hermit in a cave, and the place became known as Guy's Cliffe. From his cave he walked regularly to Warwick Castle to receive alms from his wife, who was unaware of his identity. Tradition says that he sent for his wife on the point of death, and was buried in the cave. The story may have little claim to the authentice, but the cave is undoubtedly an old one, as is shown by the saxon inscription.]

[Leycester Hospital, Warwick, Outer Porch.] 16. [This Hospital owes its existence to Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and dates from the reign of Henry VI. In 1511, the Earl of Warwick took the building over and founded the Hospital to accommodate twelve ex-soldiers or their descendents in succession, from the villages in the surrounding district. The men were provided with blue gowns, with Leicester's badge and a ragged staff, embroidered on the left sleeve. To-day the gowns are worn by the pensioners when they attend church. The Hospital, a very fine example of a timber framed building, stands in a terrace rising abruptly from the roadway to St. James' Chapel, which is built over the arch of the old West Gate. Overhanging the arch entrance gateway is a picturesque gabled storey with the insignia "The Bear and Ragged Staff."]

[Leycester Hospital Quadrangle, Warwick.] 19. [The Quadrangle of the Leycester Hospital is surrounded by panelled Elizabethan buildings. Facing the entrance is the richly ornamented front of the Master's Lodge. On the right is a cloister-like corridor leading to some of the rooms of the pensioners; on the left is the old banqueting hall, now partitioned into small apartments for various domestic purposes. The roof is of well preserved Spanish chestnut, dating from 1830. The upper part of the hall where the minstrel gallery formerly stood is now cut offr and forms the drawing room of the Master's house. On the opposite side of the Quadrangle is the kitchen, which serves as a common room. On its walls is a fine collection of ancient swords and armour, and in it are contained numerous relics including an old chair said to be Saxon, a beautifully carved oak cabinet from Kenilworth Castle, a portion of tapestry from Cumnor Hall (near Oxford) worked by Amy Robsart, and the signature portion of Lord Leicester's will.]

[Warwick West Gate.] 15. [The West Gate of Warwick stands in the High Street close to Lord Leycester's Hospital. It is a strongly vaulted building, and formed part of the town fortification. It was erected by Thomas de Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, in the reign of Richard II. The iron stanchions of the gate are still to be seen in the walls, and also the badge of the Dudleys-"The Bear and Ragged Staff"-with the motto "Droit et Loyal" between the initials R.L.-Robert Leicester. The tower, from which beautiful views of the Shakespearean villages may be obtained, has an unusually shaped clock face. The building stands next to the old front of the Hospital, and is one of the most picturesque sights of Warwick.]
