Kenilworth

Town in Warwickshire, central England, 8 km/5 mi north of Warwick; population (2001) 22,200. Industries include motor and agricultural engineering. The Norman castle, celebrated in Walter Scott's novel Kenilworth, became a royal residence. Edward II relinquished his crown here in 1327. The castle was enlarged by John of Gaunt and later by the Earl of Leicester – who entertained Elizabeth I here in 1575 – but was dismantled after the English Civil War.

There are some remains of an Augustinian priory dating from about 1122. The ruins of the castle were given to the British nation by the first Lord Kenilworth in 1937.
