Re: Anybody else from Warwickshire?
This is my second visit to Warwick but the first was about 20 years ago and this time I'm seeing it from my granddaughter's perspective ... so .. we had a look at the Lord Leicester Hospital ( went in last time but not today) ... paid £2.50 to go into the garden at the bottom of Mill Street for a great view of the Castle and went in St Mary's Church and climbed the 165 steps (phew !!!!
) to the top of the tower for the fantastic panoramic view

The view from the top is breathtaking and you can see for miles!
Years ago, in that church, you could go down into the crypt where they had a ducking chair that had been used for ducking witches!
The garden in Mill Street has raised lots of money for charity over the years. It used to belong to a Mr Measures but he died a while back.

Re: Anybody else from Warwickshire?
yes I did "pull myself up" all those steps !!!! Thank goodness they have the rope for a handrail !!!! I needed a nebulizer by the time I got to the top 
The steps are in good condition so not a problem. I had to go back down backwards We went down into the crypt too.
There was a notice in the Mill Street garden saying they had raised over £2,000 last year
