Heidi Meyer is the 33rd Master of the Lord Leycester Hospital and the first female Master to be appointed in the Hospital's 450 year history.  She said, "Finding the ways and means to sustain the Lord Leycester into the next century and beyond is now my main focus!  What an awesome privilege and honour to be able to help preserve these extraordinary buildings and this 700 year old legacy of  philanthropy and civic society!"​
