SWANS
IN WARWICKSHIRE

Swans on the river at Stoneleigh. Swans by the riverside walk, opposite the Memorial Theatre, Stratford. Swans gathering near the Memorial Theatre, in Stratford (on the opposite bank to the picture above). This is a favourite spot for tourists to throw bread to the swans. This spot is also shown in the two pictures just below. Swan on the Avon just below Stratford. Swans on the Avon, about half a mile below Stratford. Children feeding swans and their cygnets on the Avon at Warwick Castle. Swans on the lake in the Abbey Fields, Kenilworth. Kenilworth Castle is in the background. The two pictures just below also show the lake in the Abbey Fields. A black swan at Bradnocks Marsh, near Hampton-in-Arden. The Tomb of Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, in St Mary's Church, Warwick. Beside his head is a swan. The top of the swan's head, and its beak, pointing to the left, can just be seen in the foreground of this picture. The swan is part of the Beauchamp crest, and is an allusion to the Story of Lohengrin.
