Many motorists also faced a lot of surface water across roads in the county.

Last night, Kenilworth and Warwick Rural Police issued a warning to residents to avoid the ford.

Officers said the road had been closed off by the Queen and Castle and Castle entrance.

They added: “Kindly do not remove the cones or attempt to cross the ford (a new car is an expensive outlay just before Christmas).”

As of 10.30am this morning, the Environmental Agency removed the flood warning for Finham Brook.
