St Mary’s Church is situated in the centre of Warwick and is famous for its beautiful Beauchamp Chapel where the medieval tomb of Richard Beauchamp can be found. Many of the Earls of Warwick are also buried in the church. Visitors can go inside the crypt which dates back to the 12th Century and see an original ducking stool which used to be a punishment in the medieval era. It was particularly used for so-called scolding women. Visitors can also climb the church tower which is worth it for the views over Warwick.
