St Michael's Leper Hospital
The Master's House 2007

The remaining ruins of St Michael's Leper Hospital, a medieval hospital, lie in a patch of scrubland in the Saltisford area in the north of the town of Warwick, England. The hospital, which was founded by Roger, Earl of Warwick in about 1135, is classified by English Heritage as a scheduled monument.[1] The remains of two of the hospital buildings can still be seen on the site - St Michael's Church, a chapel and the 15th century two-storey Master's House. They are both grade II listed buildings.[2]
