Before you, the land rolls down into Abbey Fields, a landscape shaped by a glacial lake and the eroding action of the Finham Brook. The far slope would probably have held settlements in Roman and Saxon times but Kenilworth was just a tiny hamlet at the time of the Domesday book. It was recorded as Chinewrde, pronounced Kinny-worth (the farm of Cynehild).
The war memorial was dedicated in 1922 and updated in 1951 to reflect those fallen in the two World Wars and the Korean War.
Do not enter Abbey Fields, instead turn left and continue down Forrest Road to the Junction.
