Numbers 26 and 28 Castle Hill are 18th century in red brick. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1035344 Kenilworth is a market town some 6 miles south west of Coventry. The town lies on Finham Brook, a tributary of the River Sowe, which joins the River Avon about 2 miles to the north-east. A priory and a castle were built at the same time around 1122. A field in the town is named Parliament Field as Henry III held a Parliament there in August 1266 whilst his troops were besieging the castle. Kenilworth today is a dormitory town for commuters to Coventry, Birmingham and Leamington Spa.
