Kenilworth Revealed

Discover the secrets of Abbey Fields in augmented reality!

About the App

Discover a ground-breaking augmented reality experience, revealing the secrets and stories of the Abbey of St Mary.

In 1119, Geoffrey de Clinton, the controversial Chamberlain and Treasurer to King Henry I of England, built the magnificent St Mary’s priory for Augustinian Canons. It was deemed so important that Pope Nicholas IV ordered it to be upgraded to an Abbey in 1447 and its close links with Kenilworth Castle ensured it continued to flourish and play an influential role, right across the region, until it was dismantled on the orders of King Henry VIII in 1538. But who were the power players and what were the stories that made the Abbey so influential?

The new Kenilworth Revealed app will take visitors right back to 1500 to experience the stories and lives that shaped so much local history. You will be able to visit the current Gatehouse and Guest Hall ruins and use the app at each plaque to see what daily life looked and sounded like, whilst answering quizzes and collecting “Relics” to become the masters of the Abbey.

Get the app for either Android or IOS and reveal the hidden stories of Kenilworth
