St Mary's Church, Warwick

The grave of William Parr, brother of Catherine Parr, the sixth wife of Henry VIII.


The tomb of Thomas Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick.  Below is the only likeness of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, the so-called Kingmaker.   The chapel at St Mary's also contains the tomb of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester and his wife Lettice Knollys, as well as Ambrose Dudley, Earl of Warwick, and the child of Robert and Lettice known as 'the noble imp'.    Although Warwick Castle  dominates the town, a visit to St. Mary's is well worth it.
