Warwick gets it's name from the old English word 'wering' which means river dam. Early records from the eleventh century name it as 'waerinc wicum' meaning river dam dwellings. Avon it is easy to understand how it acquired it's name. If you have or know of a web site that should be featured here that is Warwickshire based please let me know. Similarly, any good ideas would be welcome.
