The handwritten word 'Warewic,' [Warwick] as shown in the webpage header, has been taken from our oldest document (1120 AD), CR 1886/W6. It is a conveyance by Henry, Earl of Warwick, to the church of St Mary, Warwick, of the church of Compton (Murdak) so that it may be a prebend for one of the Canons there. Warwickshire was often referred to as the 'County of Warwick' in old deeds and other documents, so we thought that the word 'Warwick' was appropriate for our new website image.
