As part of the Heritage Open Days officials with the Kenilworth History & Archaeology Society, who run the museum, hosted guided tours of the Abbey ruins last weekend.

The Heritage Open Days is an annual celebration of England's architecture and culture that allows visitors access to historical landmarks.

Jan Cooper, with the Kenilworth History & Archaeology Society, said: Both guided walks were well attended and engendered much interest in the history and archaeology of the medieval Priory/Abbey which was originally founded in 1119."
