WARWICK CASTLE
Warwick Castle is a medieval castle developed from an original built by William the Conqueror in
1068. Warwick is the county town of Warwickshire, England, situated on a bend of the River Avon.
The original wooden motte-and-bailey castle was rebuilt in stone in the 12th century. During the
Hundred Years War, the facade opposite the town was refortified, resulting in one of the most
recognisable examples of 14th century military architecture. It was used as a stronghold until the
early 17th century, when it was granted to Sir Fulke Greville by James I in 1604. Sir Fulke Greville
converted it to a country house. It was owned by the Greville family, who became earls of Warwick
in 1759, until 1978 when it was bought by the Tussauds Group.
