Leicester House

There have been two mansions in London, England called Leicester House:

  • A house in the Strand near the Temple: Leicester House, Strand. This existed in the Tudor period, and possibly earlier (and was also known as Essex House).
  • A 17th century mansion from which Leicester Square takes its name. See the article about the square for further details.

Famous quotes containing the word house:

    Just the same as a month before,—
    The house and the trees,
    The barn’s brown gable, the vine by the door,—
    Nothing changed but the hives of bees.
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
