Warwick, the county town, is renowned for its majestic castle perched atop the River Avon, but there is so much more to this historic town. While many medieval houses were ravaged by the devastating Great Fire of 1694, remnants of buildings from earlier eras can still be discovered, including the oldest inn, The Roebuck, and Lord Leycester Hospital. Local historical figures include Warwick the Kingmaker, a world-champion boxer Randolph Turpin, and socialite and campaigner Daisy, Countess of Warwick, along with the iconic ichthyosaur in the Market Hall Museum. The town hosts a variety of events, including a Victorian evening and an annual folk festival. Warwick: A–Z of Warwick delves into the town's history, its streets, buildings, businesses, and the people intertwined with it. Alongside the well-known historical connections, there are unique characters, hidden gems, and lesser-known events that are worth exploring. Fully illustrated throughout, this book captivates all enthusiasts of this historic Warwickshire town.
