Masters House, Warwick - Warwick
The Leper Hospital of St Michael was founded in the C12: the Master's House survives and is a timber framed building of C15 date built upon C12 foundations. The timber frame and roof covering are in very poor condition and Urgent Works were undertaken by Warwick District Council in 2019 to keep the building weatherproof and maintain its structural stability. Warwick District Council subsequently purchased the site and its buildings in 2022 and are looking to facilitate its development with the West Midlands Historic Buildings Trust and a housing provider for unsupported social housing.
