The [[county town]] is [[Warwick]], although the largest town is [[Nuneaton]] in the far north of the county. The shape of the administrative area Warwickshire differs considerably from that of the [[historic counties of England|historic county]]. Commonly used abbreviations for the county are '''Warks''' or '''Warwicks'''. Warwickshire is perhaps best known for being the birthplace of [[William Shakespeare]] from [[Stratford-upon-Avon]]. The county has also produced other literary figures such as [[George Eliot]] (from near [[Nuneaton]]), [[Rupert Brooke]] (from [[Rugby, Warwickshire|Rugby]]), and [[Michael Drayton]] from [[Hartshill]]. It is also known for [[Warwick Castle]] and [[Kenilworth Castle]]. ==Geography== Warwickshire is bounded to the northwest by the [[West Midlands (county)|West Midlands]] [[metropolitan county]] and [[Staffordshire]], by [[Leicestershire]] to the northeast, [[Northamptonshire]] to the east, [[Worcestershire]] to the west, [[Oxfordshire]] to the south and [[Gloucestershire]] to the southwest. An average-sized English county covering an area of almost 2,000 sq.km, it runs some 96 km / 60 miles north to south. The majority of Warwickshire's population live in the north and centre of the county. The market towns of northern and eastern Warwickshire were industrialised in the 19th century, and include [[Atherstone]], [[Bedworth]], [[Nuneaton]], and [[Rugby, Warwickshire|Rugby]]. Major industries included [[UK Coal|coal mining]], [[textiles]], [[engineering]], and [[cement]] production, but heavy industry is in decline, being replaced by distribution centres, light to medium industry, and services. Of the northern and eastern towns, only Nuneaton and Rugby (as the birthplace of Rugby football) are well-known outside of Warwickshire. The prosperous towns of central and western Warwickshire include [[Leamington Spa]], [[Stratford-upon-Avon]], [[Kenilworth]], [[Alcester]], and [[Warwick]] harbour light to medium industries, services and tourism as major employment sectors. The south of the county is largely rural and sparsely populated, and includes a small area of the [[Cotswolds]]. The only town in the south of Warwickshire is [[Shipston-on-Stour]]. The highest point in the county, at 261 m (856 ft), is [[Ebrington Hill]] on the border with northernmost [[Gloucestershire]], GR SP187426 at its southwest extremity. The north of the county, bordering Staffordshire and Leicestershire, is mildly undulating countryside and the northernmost village, No Man's Heath, is only 55 km / 34 miles south of the Peak District National Park's southernmost point. There are no cities in Warwickshire since both [[Coventry]] and [[Birmingham]] were incorporated into the West Midlands county in 1974 and are now metropolitan authorities in themselves. The largest towns in Warwickshire as of 2004 are: Nuneaton (pop. 77,500), Rugby (62,700), Leamington Spa (45,300), and Bedworth (32,500). Stratford, Warwick, and Kenilworth all house 20,000-25,000 inhabitants, while the smaller towns of [[Atherstone]], [[Alcester]], [[Coleshill]], [[Southam]], [[Bulkington]], [[Polesworth]], [[Kingsbury, Warwickshire|Kingsbury]], [[Henley-in-Arden]], [[Studley]], [[Shipston-on-Stour|Shipston]]. [[Wellesbourne]] and [[Whitnash]] have populations between 5,000 and 12,000. Historically much of western Warwickshire, including the area now forming part of Birmingham and the West Midlands, was covered by the ancient [[Forest of Arden]] (although most of this was cut down to provide fuel for industrialisation in the 17th to 19th centuries). For this reason, the names of a number of places in the northwestern part of Warwickshire end with the phrase "-in-Arden", such as [[Henley-in-Arden]], [[Hampton-in-Arden]] and [[Tanworth-in-Arden]] (which was home to the late singer-songwriter [[Nick Drake]]). ===Historic boundaries=== Areas historically part of Warwickshire include [[Coventry]], [[Solihull]], and most of [[Birmingham]]. These became part of the [[metropolitan county]] of [[West Midlands (county)|West Midlands]] following local government re-organisation in 1974. In 1986 the [[West Midlands County Council]] was abolished and Birmingham, Coventry, and Solihull became effective [[unitary authority|unitary authorities]], however the West Midlands county name has not been altogether abolished, and still exists for [[Ceremonial counties of England|ceremonial purposes]], and so these cities still remain outside Warwickshire. Some organisations, such as [[Warwickshire County Cricket Club]], which is based in [[Edgbaston]], in Birmingham, still observe the [[Historic counties of England|historic county]] boundaries. Coventry is effectively in the centre of the Warwickshire area, and still has strong ties with the county. Coventry and Warwickshire are sometimes treated as a single area and share a single [[NHS trust]] and [[Chamber of Commerce]] as well as other institutions, ie, [[BBC Radio Coventry & Warwickshire]]. Coventry has been a part of Warwickshire for only some of its history. In 1451 Coventry was separated from Warwickshire and made a [[county corporate]] in its own right, called the [[County of the City of Coventry]]. In 1842 the county of Coventry was abolished and Coventry was remerged with Warwickshire. In recent times, there have been calls to formally re-introduce Coventry into Warwickshire, although nothing has yet come of this. The county's population would explode by almost a third-of-a-million overnight should this occur, Coventry being the UK's 11th largest city. The town of [[Tamworth]] was historically divided between Warwickshire and [[Staffordshire]], but since 1888 has been fully in Staffordshire. In 1931, Warwickshire gained the town of [[Shipston-on-Stour]] from [[Worcestershire]] and several villages, including [[Long Marston, Warwickshire|Long Marston]] and [[Welford-on-Avon]], from [[Gloucestershire]]. ==Settlements== {{main|List of places in Warwickshire}} {{see|List of Warwickshire towns by population}} <br> ''[[List of wards in Warwick district by population]]'' <br> ''[[List of wards in Rugby borough by population]]'' <br> ''[[List of wards in North Warwickshire by population]]'' <br> ''[[List of wards in Nuneaton and Bedworth by population]]'' <br> ''[[List of wards in Stratford district by population]]'' A list of the main settlements in Warwickshire, including towns, or villages with a population of over 5,000. {{col-begin}} {{col-3}} *[[Alcester]] *[[Atherstone]] *[[Bedworth]] *[[Bulkington]] *[[Coleshill, Warwickshire|Coleshill]] *[[Henley-in-Arden]] *[[Kenilworth]] {{col-3}} *[[Kingsbury, Warwickshire|Kingsbury]] *[[Leamington Spa]] *[[Nuneaton]] *[[Polesworth]] *[[Rugby, Warwickshire|Rugby]] *[[Shipston-on-Stour]] *[[Southam]] {{col-3}} *[[Stratford-upon-Avon]] *[[Studley]] *[[Warwick]] *[[Wellesbourne]] *[[Whitnash]] {{Col-end}} ==History== [[Image:Warwickshiremap 700.jpg|right|thumb|300px|A detailed map]] [[Image:StratfordAvon20040717 CopyrightKaihsuTai.jpg|right|thumb|Stratford-upon-Avon]] [[Image:Kenilworth Castle gatehouse landscape.jpg|thumb|right|[[Kenilworth Castle]]]] {{main|History of Warwickshire}} Warwickshire came into being as a division of the kingdom of [[Mercia]] in the early 11th century. The first reference to Warwickshire was in 1001, as ''Waeinewiscscr'' named after Warwick (meaning "dwellings by the [[weir]]"). During the [[Middle Ages]] Warwickshire was dominated by [[Coventry]], which was at the time one of the most important cities in England due to its textiles trade in the heart of England Warwickshire played a key part in the [[English Civil War]], with the [[Battle of Edgehill]] and other skirmishes taking place in the county. During the [[Industrial Revolution]] Warwickshire became one of Britain's foremost industrial counties, with the large industrial cities of [[Birmingham]] and [[Coventry]] within its boundaries. 1974 boundary changes removed Birmingham and Coventry from Warwickshire, leaving the present day county with a rather odd shape, which looks as if a large chunk has been bitten out of it. ===Boundary changes=== *1844: The [[Counties (Detached Parts) Act 1844#Warwickshire|Counties (Detached Parts) Act]] transferred a township to, and two parishes from, the county. *1888: Those parts of the town of [[Tamworth]] lying in Warwickshire were ceded to [[Staffordshire]]. *1891: [[Harborne]] became part of the county borough of [[Birmingham]] and thus transferred from Staffordshire to Warwickshire by the Local Govt. Bd.'s Prov. Orders Conf. (No. 13) Act, 54 & 55 Vic. c. 161 (local act). *1909: [[Quinton, Birmingham|Quinton]] was formally removed from Worcestershire and incorporated into the county borough of Birmingham, then in Warwickshire, on 9 November. *1911: The Staffordshire town of [[Handsworth, West Midlands|Handsworth]] and the [[Worcestershire]] towns of [[Northfield, West Midlands|Northfield]], [[Kings Norton]] and [[Yardley, Birmingham|Yardley]] became part of Birmingham and thus Warwickshire. *1928: [[Perry Barr]] was ceded to Birmingham, from Staffordshire *1931: The boundaries between Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, and Worcestershire were adjusted by the Provisional Order Confirmation (Gloucestershire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire) Act which transferred 26 parishes between the three counties, largely to eliminate [[List of county exclaves in England and Wales 1844 - 1974|exclaves]]. The town of [[Shipston-on-Stour]] was gained from Worcestershire and several villages, including [[Long Marston, Warwickshire|Long Marston]] and [[Welford-on-Avon]], from [[Gloucestershire]]. *1974: Under The [[Local Government Act 1972]], Birmingham, [[Coventry]], [[Solihull]] and [[Sutton Coldfield]] were ceded to the new [[West Midlands (county)|West Midlands county]], the latter town also becoming part of Birmingham. ==Economy== This is a chart of trend of regional gross value added of Warwickshire at current basic prices [http://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/theme_economy/RegionalGVA.pdf published] (pp.240-253) by ''Office for National Statistics'' with figures in millions of British Pounds Sterling. {| class="wikitable" |- !

The county has a [[county council]] based in [[Warwick]], and is also divided into five [[Non-metropolitan district|districts]] each with their own district councils. These districts are: [[North Warwickshire]], [[Nuneaton and Bedworth]], [[Rugby (borough)|Rugby]], [[Stratford-on-Avon (district)|Stratford]], and [[Warwick (district)|Warwick]] (see map). The county and district councils are responsible for providing different services. [[Atherstone]] is the headquarters of the North Warwickshire district, whereas [[Leamington Spa]] is the headquarters of the Warwick district. In addition many small towns and villages have their own [[civil parish|parish councils]] although these have only limited powers. Warwickshire is policed by the [[Warwickshire Police]] ==Education== In the state sector, children start school in the school year in which they turn five. They stay at primary school for seven years (although this varies even within the county, as some people have previously gone for four years and then spent another four years at a 'middle school') until they are eleven. Warwickshire is one of the few local authorities in England to still maintain the Grammar school system in two districts: Stratford on Avon and Rugby, although Southam claims to have a comprehensive school. In the final year of primary school, children are given the opportunity of sitting the [[eleven plus]] exam in order to compete for a place at one of the Grammar schools, with two in Stratford and Rugby and one in Alcester (including [[Stratford-upon-Avon Grammar School for Girls]]; [[King Edward VI School Stratford-upon-Avon|King Edward VI School]], a boys school; and Alcester Grammar School (mixed)). The exam is sat on three different days and consists of two verbal reasoning and mathematics papers and one extended writing paper. In order to maintain standards, there is a bank of papers that are used in rotation. In 2006, it was revealed in a local newspaper, the Stratford Herald, that some private eleven plus tutors had copies of the exam papers and that they were using them as practice papers for their pupils. This meant that, in some cases, pupils sitting the exam had seen the paper in advance.{{Fact|date=January 2008}} Those students who do not gain a place at a grammar school can attend one of the numerous high schools. Students must stay at school until they are sixteen, when they take GCSE exams, or alternative qualifications. They can then leave school, stay in the school, if it has a sixth form, or go to college. It should be noted that Warwickshire contains 4 Further Education Colleges, North Warwickshire & Hinckley College which has main colleges based in Nuneaton and the Leicestershire Town of Hinckley with smaller colleges based around North Warwickshire, King Edward VI Sixth Form College (K.E.G.S) in Nuneaton, Stratford Upon Avon College and [http://www.warkscol.ac.uk/ Warwickshire College], an institution made up of six main separate colleges that have merged together (Leamington Centre, Rugby Centre, Moreton Morrell Centre, Pershore College, Henley-in-Arden Centre, Trident Centre - Warwick). [[Image:Rugby School 850.jpg|left|thumb|Rugby School]] [[Image:Warwick School.jpg|thumb|right|Warwick School]] There are also five independent schools within the county, namely; [[Rugby School]], [[Warwick School]], [[Princethorpe College]], [[Kingsley School]] in [[Leamington Spa]], and [[The King's High School For Girls]], [[Warwick]]. [[Rugby School]] and [[Warwick School]] are arguably the two most notable schools within [[Warwickshire]], with [[Rugby School]] being founded in 1567 and [[Warwick School]] originally being founded c.914 AD, which makes it the oldest survivng boys school in the country. Both schools achieve very impressive exam results and benefit from exceptional facilities. [[Rugby School]] is one of nine schools that were defined as the "great" English public schools by the [[Public Schools Act 1868]], and is unsurprisingly a member of the [[Rugby Group]]. Both [[Rugby School]] and [[Warwick School]] are [[HMC]] schools, with the Headmaster from each school attending the [[Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference]]. ==Transport== ===Roads=== Several major [[motorway]]s run through Warwickshire. these include: *The [[M40 motorway]] which connects [[London]] to [[Birmingham]], runs through the centre of the county, and serves Leamington Spa, Warwick, and Stratford. *The [[M6 motorway]], which connects the north west of England and the midlands to the [[M1 motorway]] (and then on to London). Runs through the north of Warwickshire, and serves Rugby, Nuneaton, and Bedworth on its way to Birmingham. *The [[M69 motorway|M69]] Coventry to Leicester motorway which serves Nuneaton. *Other motorways pass briefly through Warwickshire including the [[M45 motorway|M45]] (a short spur south of Rugby connecting to the M1), the southern end of the [[M6 Toll]], and the [[M42 motorway|M42]] which passes through the county at several points. Other major trunk routes in Warwickshire includes the [[A45 road|A45]] (Rugby-Coventry-Birmingham and east into Northamptonshire route). The [[A46 road|A46]] (connects the M40 to the M6 via Warwick, Kenilworth and Coventry) and the [[A452 road|A452]] (Leamington to Birmingham route). ===Rail=== Two major railway lines pass through Warwickshire. *The [[Chiltern Main Line]], the former [[Great Western Railway|Great Western]] route from London to Birmingham passes through the centre of Warwickshire on a route similar to the M40 motorway, and has stations at Leamington Spa, Warwick, (and [[Warwick Parkway]]) and [[Hatton, Warwickshire|Hatton]]. Rail services are provided by [[Chiltern Railways]] and [[London Midland]] (Birmingham to Leamington only). There are also two branches off the Chiltern line, one from Leamington to Coventry, and another from Hatton near Warwick to Stratford. [[Image:WCML at Rugby.jpg|thumb|The WCML at Rugby]] *The [[West Coast Main Line]] (WCML) runs through Warwickshire. At Rugby the WCML splits into two parts, one runs west through to Coventry and Birmingham, and the other the "Trent Valley Line" runs north-west towards [[Stafford]] and the north-west of England. This section has stations at [[Nuneaton]], [[Atherstone]], and [[Polesworth]] (North bound services only). There is one branch off the WCML from [[Nuneaton]] to [[Coventry]], and there is a station at [[Bedworth]] on this branch. Other railway lines in Warwickshire include the Birmingham-Nuneaton section of the [[Birmingham to Peterborough Line]], which continues east of Nuneaton towards [[Leicester]] and [[Peterborough]]. Nuneaton has direct services to Birmingham and Leicester on this line, and there is one intermediate station at [[Water Orton]] near [[Coleshill, Warwickshire|Coleshill]] in the extreme north-west of the county. There is also a branch line from Birmingham to [[Stratford-upon-Avon]]. This line used to continue southwards to [[Cheltenham]] but is now a dead-end branch. There are several stations on this line at [[Henley-in-Arden]] and at several small villages. Stratford also has direct rail services to London via the branch line to Warwick (mentioned earlier). The only major town in Warwickshire not to have a station is [[Kenilworth]]. Although the Leamington to Coventry line passes through the town, its station was closed in the 1960s as part of the [[Beeching Axe]]. There is a concerted campaign to re-open the station, although currently there are no local services operating on the line, as it is used only by [[CrossCountry]] services. ===Canals and Waterways=== [[Image:Oxford Canal from Napton.jpg|thumb|220px|right|The [[Oxford Canal]] at [[Napton-on-the-Hill]]]] [[Canal]]s in Warwickshire, include: *The [[Grand Union Canal]], which runs through Leamington and Warwick and onwards to Birmingham. The restored Saltisford Canal Arm, is close to the centre of Warwick, and is now a short branch of the Grand Union Canal. The arm is the remains of the original terminus of the Warwick and Birmingham Canal and dates back to 1799. The Saltisford Canal Trust have restored most of the surviving canal, which is now the mooring for colourful narrowboats and a waterside park open to the public. Over 800 visiting narrowboats come by water to Warwick each year and moor on the arm.[http://www.saltisfordcanal.co.uk/#local Saltisford Canal Trust] *The [[Oxford Canal]], which runs from near Coventry and then eastwards around Rugby, and then through the rural south of the county towards [[Oxford]]. *The [[Coventry Canal]] which runs through the north of the county from [[Coventry]] through [[Bedworth]], [[Nuneaton]], [[Atherstone]], and [[Polesworth]], and then onwards to [[Tamworth]]. *The [[Stratford-upon-Avon Canal]] which runs from the Grand Union west of Warwick to Stratford. *The [[Ashby-de-la-Zouch Canal]] passes briefly through Warwickshire from a junction with the Coventry Canal at [[Bedworth]]. The [[River Avon, Warwickshire|River Avon]] is navigable from just north of Stratford. It has been proposed for decades to extend the navigation to Warwick and Leamington, creating a new cruising ring and linking up with the Upper Avon Navigation. This would create many benefits to residents, boaters and wildlife but due to a vocal campaign by a few local residents has yet to come to fruition. ==Places of interest== {{col-begin}} {{col-3}} *[[Arbury Hall]] *[[Battle of Edgehill]] *[[The Belfry]] *[[Brinklow Castle]] *[[Burton Dassett Hills]] *[[Charlecote Park]] *[[Compton Verney House]] *[[Compton Wynyates]] *[[Coombe Abbey]] *[[Coombe Abbey|Coombe Country Park]] *[[Coughton Court]] {{col-3}} *[[Coventry Canal]] *[[Draycote Water]] *[[Grand Union Canal]] *[[Heritage Motor Centre]] *[[The James Gilbert Rugby Football Museum|James Gilbert Rugby Football Museum]] *[[Kenilworth Castle]] *[[Kingsbury Water Park]] *[[Ladywalk Reserve]] *[[Lunt Roman Fort]] *[[Lord Leycester Hospital]] *[[Mary Arden's House]] {{col-3}} *[[Midland Air Museum]] *[[Oxford Canal]] *[[Ragley Hall]] *[[River Avon, Warwickshire|River Avon]] *[[Rollright Stones]] *[[Rugby Art Gallery and Museum]] *[[Rugby School]] *[[Ryton Pools Country Park]] *[[Warwick Castle]] *[[University of Warwick]] {{col-end}} ==Sports teams== ===soccer=== Warwickshire County Cricket Club play at Edgbaston. Notable players for Warwickshire have been Bob Willis, Allan Donald and Geoff Humpage. ===Gaelic Sports=== The Warwickshire County Board of the [[Gaelic Athletic Association]] (GAA) (or '''Warwickshire GAA''') is one of the [[GAA county|county boards]] outside Ireland, and is responsible for [[Gaelic games]] in [[Warwickshire]]. The county board is also responsible for the Warwickshire inter-county teams. The play their home games at [[Páirc na hÉireann, Birmingham|Páirc na hÉireann]]. Warwickshire Schools GAA Board was originally setup in September 2000. It has grown at a very healthy rate such that as of May 2007 WSGAA now work in partnership with 28 primary schools, 15 Secondary schools, 2 HE/FE Colleges and 5 local GAA clubs and in total an estimated 2385 young people. The aims of the WSGAA include competition by their elite team in the All-Ireland underage championships. This initiative is a remarkable departure from the traditional way in which [[British GAA]] clubs have been organised. ==See also== *[[2007 Atherstone fire]] *[[Warwickshire College]] ==External links== * [http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/home Warwickshire County Council] * [http://www.warkscol.ac.uk/ Warwickshire College Homepage] <br /> {{West Midlands}} {{England counties}} [[Category:Warwickshire| ]] [[ca:Warwickshire]] [[cs:Warwickshire]] [[cy:Swydd Warwick]] [[da:Warwickshire]] [[de:Warwickshire]] [[et:Warwickshire]] [[es:Warwickshire]] [[eo:Warwickshire]] [[eu:Warwickshire]] [[fr:Warwickshire]] [[hi:वरिकशायर]] [[id:Warwickshire]] [[is:Warwickshire]] [[it:Warwickshire]] [[kw:Warwickshire]] [[lv:Vorikšīra]] [[lb:Warwickshire]] [[nl:Warwickshire]] [[ja:ウォリックシャー]] [[no:Warwickshire]] [[nn:Warwickshire]] [[pl:Warwickshire]] [[pt:Warwickshire]] [[ro:Warwickshire]] [[ru:Уорикшир]] [[simple:Warwickshire]] [[sk:Warwickshire]] [[fi:Warwickshire]] [[sv:Warwickshire]] [[vo:Warwickshire]] [[zh:沃里克郡]]
