About Warwick - show info hide info

Warwick is an historic market town in the county of Warwickshire. The town has a population of 25,434 inhabitants according to the 2001 Census. Warwick was founded in the year 914 AD when Ethelfleda, sister of Mercian king Edward the Elder built defences against Danish (Viking) invaders; these were to be the basis of Warwick Castle. The name 'Warwick' means "dwellings by the weir". In 1016, much of Warwick was burnt by the Danes when they invaded Mercia. Later, Warwick and its fortifications became a very important administrative centre in the 11th century, as much of the former kingdom of Mercia was divided into shires - Warwick becoming administrative centre of Warwickshire. By the time of the Domesday book, Warwick was a Royal Borough. In the 15th century, Warwick remained under the control of successive Earls of Warwick, mostly of the Beauchamp family. Warwick became a walled town during this period, though today very little evidence of this remains, with only the east and west gatehouses still in existance. In 1694, much of the town was once again destroyed by fire, and so today most of the building in the centre of Warwick date from the 18th and 19th centuries, though a number of buildings from the medieval era from the outskirts. Warwick now forms a conurbation with nearby Leamington Spa. Warwickshire is still administered from Warwick, though the town council has merged with that of Leamington Spa. Many tourists visit Warwick to see the impressive Warwick Castle, as well as the historic buildings in Warwick itself. People are also drawn in by Warwick Racecourse, which has 25 meetings annually. The town is well linked to various transport networks, the M40 motorway being nearby for a link to London. Warwick also has two railway stations, Warwick and Warwick Parkway. Both stations are on the same line, and see services on the line between London Marylebone and Birmingham Snow Hill, operated by Chiltern. Nearby towns include Leamington Spa, Rugby, Birmingham, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Nuneaton, Daventry, Stratford-upon-Avon, Redditch, Dudley, Bedworth and Kenilworth
