Architectural detail, Lord Leycester Hospital, Warwick, timber frame construction. The Warwick Bear and ragged staff motif
Many of the central streets of the town were destroyed by the Great Fire of 1694. The buildings which were burnt, and many which were not, were re-built in the handsome style of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. St Mary's Church, which dominates the surrounding countryside, had a new nave and tower at the same time. Several important medieval buildings survived the fire and can be seen to this day, notably the town's medieval Guildhall, now the Lord Leycester Hospital, as well as a group of timber - framed buildings around Oken's House. Warwick and its historic buildings have featured in the BBC TV's drama series 'Dangerfield', 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Tom Jones' and Granada Television's 'Moll Flanders'.
