Things To Do: All Saints Parish Church

  • The exact date a church was initially built on the All Saints Parish Church site is unknown. The first recorded details of a building were in a 15th century style but a church certainly existed before then in the locality.

    Things To Do: Pump Rooms
  • Tip Rating:
  • A new cultural and tourism complex has been created in Leamington Spa's historic Royal Pump Rooms.
    The total cost of the project undertaken by Warwick District Council was £7 million. Work began on site in winter 1997 and the Royal Pump Rooms opened to the public in summer 1999.
    The Town's Art Gallery and Museum, Library and Tourist Information Centre have now moved to the restored building, alongside the existing Assembly Room and a new Café.

    Things To Do: Queen Victoria
  • Tip Rating:
  • People can’t fail to notice the three metre high white Sicilian marble statue of Queen Victoria outside the Town hall.

    Of course there are many such statues of this most popular queen in Great Britain and the Commonwealth. There she stands holding the orb and sceptre and looking very elegant.

    She is the “Queen and Empress” with the added words “She wrought her people lasting good”. The statue was created by Albert Toft and unveiled on 11 October 1902, paid for (£1,400) mainly by public subscription.

    In 1942 a stray German bomb fell near her, the blast moving her very slightly on her plinth, no doubt she was “Not amused”.

    Things To Do: Spa Water
  • Tip Rating:
  • There is the opportunity to sample spa water (for those who are brave enough!) The Spa water is a mild laxative which is one reason why the water was drunk.

    Things To Do: Town Hall
  • Tip Rating:
  • The most prominent building in the town, the Town Hall was designed by local architect J A Cundall after a controversial competition. A site below the Regent Hotel was chosen rather than one near the Pump rooms. The Victorian brick and stone structure was completed in 1884.

    Things To Do: War Memorial
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • The Leamington Spa memorial is in the form of a figure of a serviceman, with head bowed and arms reversed. The figure stands atop a square plinth, which bears the names of the fallen, and the inscription; there is a two-stepped base. Last updated 29 March 2008 the memorial was created by Albert Toft and was first unveiled 27 May 1922 and re-dedicated November 1951. A transcription is still required but there may be names for World War 1 and 2 as well as Korea and the Falklands.
