Leconfield felt like a home from the first day. I can confidently say that the House has had a huge impact on me and my peers, and being selected as Head of House is a huge privilege. It is a truly honourable role, and I hope to spark positive change throughout the House in order to enhance even further the ‘home from home’ feeling Leconfield is proud to provide.
As always, we were a formidable force in the rugby House Pots and, having come second yet again to Newick House, I am confident that 2015‑2016 will be our year and we will be able to steal back the title. Alongside that, I hope that all our House teams prosper and that we lift Leconfield to the top, where it deserves to stand.

Lord Lee Towards the end of 1939, for reasons of health and after serving for 22 years, Viscount Lee of Fareham resigned as President of College Council. He had entered Leconfield as a Classical Scholar in 1880, was President of the Cheltonian Society 1908‑1909 and elected a Life Member of Council in 1911. Away from College he had a most distinguished military, then political career, and gave Chequers to the nation in 1921. In recognition of his service to College, the area between Old Junior, Little Classical and the Centenary Block has been named Lee Close.
