Moving to Warwickshire?

Warwickshire is perhaps best known for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare. Visitors are not allowed to forget this: road signs at the county boundary describe Warwickshire as “Shakespeare's County”. Don’t be fooled: there is more to discover than the plays at Stratford-on-Avon, though you shouldn’t miss an opportunity to see Shakespeare’s genius at work in its true home.

For the first few decades following the Roman invasion of Britain in AD 43, the Warwickshire area found itself at the frontier of Roman rule. The Romans fortified heavily during this period, founding several military settlements to defend the roads. They also fostered a strong pottery industry at Manduessedum in the north of the county. After they left, the Saxons settled the area which became part of the Kingdom of Mercia. During the Danish invasions of the 9th century, Warwickshire again became the frontier: this time, Queen Ethelfleda ordered castles to be built at Warwick and at Tamworth. Fighting continued until the arrival of the Normans in the 11th century: they extended Warwick Castle and built Kenilworth Castle.

The medieval period saw some peace, when many of the market towns were established. A strong wool and textile trade grew up, centred on Coventry (historically but no longer part of the county). It was in the 18th and 19th centuries, however, that Warwickshire really came into itself, becoming one of the most industrialised counties with highly productive coalfields. Birmingham and Coventry both underwent population explosions. It was at the centre of the UK canal system and major roads and railways were built through it. In 1974 the county was reduced substantially, losing both of its cities.

Warwick is the county town and its castle is magnificent. Most of the medieval town burned down in 1694 so that now there is a mixture of Tudor and 18th century buildings in the town centre with a few timber-framed medieval houses around the edges. Of the Church of St Mary, the chancel and the Beauchamp Chapel survived: in the latter there is a full size reclining copper gilt effigy of the Earl of Warwick on his marble tomb. Outside town, Warwick Racetrack is very popular. Nearby Leamington Spa grew from a small village to a medium sized town during the 19th century on the back of the fashionable spa water tourist movement of the time. It retains a genteel feel and beautiful late Georgian and early Victorian architecture.

Kenilworth Castle, historically contained within the Forest of Arden, is notable for its extensive water defences and the garden which has recently been restored to its Elizabethan form with a fountain and an aviary. A pageant staged here for Queen Elizabeth I by the Earl of Leicester is thought to have inspired A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Compton Verney House is an exquisite 18th century country house with interiors designed by Robert Adam and gardens landscaped by Capability Brown. On a more modern note, the Midland Air Museum at Baginton has a huge collection of aircraft including an Avro Vulcan B.2 and an Armstrong Whitworth Argosy AW.650 (series 101).
