[wpcol_1quarter id=”” class=”” style=””]Warwick is the beautiful county town of Warwickshire in the heart of the English countryside. The town sits on the River Avon, 11 miles south of Coventry and 2 1/2 miles west of Royal Leamington Spa, and is populated by 25,434 inhabitants.
Warwick’s history stretches back 1100 years to 914AD when Ethelfleda, daughter of Alfred the Great, as [/wpcol_1quarter] [wpcol_3quarter_end id=”” class=”” style=””][/wpcol_3quarter_end]a defence against the Danish invaders, they began work a traditional Anglo-Saxon “burh”. It began as an earthy mound but by the 13th Century the building work continued and the creation of Warwick and it’s castle Castle as we know it today was well on the way. Warwick Castle is one of the most complete and certainly one of the most striking castles in the country and has been inhabited continuously since the middle ages until recently, by the Earls of Warwick. In 1694, the Great Fire of Warwick destroyed much of the medieval town. Consequently, many of the town centre’s buildings are of late 17th and early 18th century origin and have the lovely Tudor look.
Contrary to the name, The Lord Leycester Hospital is not now, and has never been a hospital. It is an old fashioned term for a charitable institution which provides care for the needy. The Hospital is collection of timber-framed buildings and dates roughly from the late 14th Century.
The Lord Leycester Hospital is neither fancy hotel or a grand mansion. However, what is does provide is deep historic atmosphere and perhaps a venue slightly out of the ordinary for two people to celebrate their marriage to each other. The civil ceremonies are conducted in 600 year old, timber framed Guildhall and can seat up to 60 people. The hospital with all its charm and character affords your Warwick wedding photographers a unique venue to capture your special day wonderfully.
The Ardencote Manor Hotel is a extremely special venue in the middle of the Warwickshire countryside. Boasting 83 acres of picaresque landscaped gardens and a magnificent private lake, Ardencote Manor will provide an idyllic venue for you and your partner to share your vows with each other.
Built in the 17th Century, the Warwick Arms Hotel is the ideal location to host your perfect Warwick wedding. Behind the traditional, historic exterior, there is a hotel with a modern, high class and contemporary feel. The Warwick Arms Hotel quite recently had a major refurbishment carried out with the aim of retaining the buildings period features but at the same time, bring the building into the 21st Century. The building was completely was redone from the top down and now makes a stunning and exemplary wedding venue right in the middle of Warwick, a stones throw away from the castle.
