History:St Marys Church Warwick encapsulates English history and stunning architecture while creating a place for peaceful prayer. With its chancel roof it also provides for amazing acoustics during the many musical events that are hosted there.

Founded in 1123 by Roger de Newburgh, the Earl of Warwick this 300+ Capacity Church houses the Beaucamp Chapel, a magnificent example of the European ecclesiastical architecture of its time, and ranks as one of this country’s greatest treasures. The Chapel also houses the tombs of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, his brother Ambrose Dudley, Earl of Warwick, and Robert’s son, the “Noble Impe”.

The Chancel, Vestry and Chapter House were rebuilt in the Fourteenth Century by Thomas Beauchamp, and this section of the building represents one of the highest peaks of English Gothic architecture. The tomb of Thomas Beauchamp stands in front of the high altar; the tiny figures around its base give a fine depiction of Fourteenth Century English fashion. Fulke Greville’s enigmatic monument takes up most of the Chapter House.
