Park View, a care home in Priory Road, lives up to its name here overlooking the edge of Priory Park.

Runwood Homes will be rebuilding their Park View care home http://www.runwoodhomes.co.uk/product.php/63/park_view_warwickshire The range of sheltered accommodation in Yeomanry Close, right, is owned and managed by Warwick District Council http://www.housingcare.org/housing-care/facility-info-36286-yeomanry-close-priory-road-england.aspx Update 2017: Image

Raoul or Rauli is the common name of a species of Southern Beech, Nothofagus procera. It was introduced to Britain from Chile in 1913. The leaves are perhaps 4-8 cm long, from the tree photographed in November 2022 Image The buds are next season's flower buds. Photo number 6718173.

Offices in a former drill hall Image have become The Museum of the Queen's Royal Hussars (Churchill's own regiment).

Although a substantial former house fronting Priory Road, behind and to the right of the camera, calls itself 'The Old Drill Hall', this building to the north of it looks more like a drill hall. People working in the building certainly believed that it had been. It first appears on OS 1:2500 County Series maps dated 1913-27. It seems reasonable to surmise that it was built around the start of World War I. Its current address is No.2 Trinity Mews, Priory Road, Warwick CV34 4NA, and is home to a couple of businesses. A first floor has been inserted – the reason for the rooflights. Nothing else is known at the time of writing (July 2014). Earlier maps show a group of buildings around a courtyard garden with a fountain at its centre and glasshouses on its north side. Don Funnell writes, 10 Jan 2016: "yes it was a drill hall at least until the 1960s. My father was a military person there in the 1950s. There was even a .22 rifle range on the site." Update: September 2022. The property has opened as the Museum of the Queen's Royal Hussars (Churchill's own regiment) Image

This well-used grass path is parallel to the park's southern boundary.

The evergreen tree looks like Stone or Umbrella Pine (Pinus pinea).

It heads straight for the site of Priory House (dismantled in the 1920s) but turns sharply south on approaching a scrub-covered bank which may once have been part of an Iron Age hillfort. The trees in the middle distance were planted in the early 1990s as the first stage of an arboretum.

The long low roof of the Nursery School shows above a hedge, left of centre, with a house in The Paddocks beyond. The woman on the left was walking a husky who was apparently feeling hot in the warm May sunshine. It had drunk from the brook Image
