The county town of Warwick is famous for its magnificent castle
rising above the River Avon but there is much else to this historic
town. Although much of the town was destroyed by the Great Fire of
1694, buildings from an earlier age can still be found, including
Warwick’s oldest hostelry The Roebuck and Lord Leycester
Hospital. Historical characters include Warwick the Kingmaker,
world champion boxer Randolph Turpin and socialite and campaigner
Daisy, Countess of Warwick, as well as the Ichthyosaur in the
Market Hall Museum, and the town’s many events include a
Victorian evening and annual folk festival. A-Z of Warwick reveals
the history behind Warwick, its streets and buildings, businesses
and the people connected with the town. Alongside the famous
historical connections, are unusual characters, tucked away places
and unique events that are less well-known. It is fully illustrated
with photography and will appeal to all those with an interest in
this historic Warwickshire town.
