Warwick Town Council has introduced the Blue Plaque Scheme too celebrate people and places that have made a lasting contribution to the community of Warwick (CV34 area). These plaques recognise notable residents, businesses, and sites of historical significance, helping to preserve and share the town’s rich heritage.
Visitors can explore the town and discover these important landmarks through the Blue Plaque Trail. Each plaque highlights a unique story, and by click on the name of the plaque, you can download a document to learn more about its history.
