Warwick Town
Warwick survives today as one of the most complete historic
towns in the country. The town was founded in 914 by
Ethelfleda, sister of Edward the Elder, as a defence against
the Danes.
Within a relatively small area there are many buildings of
historic interest, including Warwick Castle ‘Britain’s
Greatest Mediaeval Experience’ where you can experience a
mediaeval household preparing for battle in ‘Kingmaker’ or
meet Daisy Countess of Warwick, in ‘A Royal Weekend Party’.
The
Lord Leycester Hospital is a group of fine mediaeval
timber-framed buildings which includes a Chapel, Great Hall,
galleried Courtyard, Guildhall as well as the Queen’s Own
Hussars Museum and Master’s Garden.
Collegiate Church of St Mary is famous for its Beauchamp
Chapel, Normal Crypt, Mediaeval/Tudor tombs and tower.
There is also Oken’s House and Doll Museum, Warwickshire
Museum which contains displays of Archaeology, Geology &
Natural History, information on the Great fire of Warwick,
Sheldon’s Tapestry Map and Warwickshire Bear. St Johns
Museum houses reconstructions of a Victorian parlour,
kitchen and Classroom as well as the Royal Warwickshire
Regimental Museum.
