Summary:This chapter explains that in the case of Warwick the most prominent feature was the castle, its south flank rising sheer above the Avon, its two great medieval towers, Caesar's Tower and Guy's Tower, breaking the town's skyline. Located on the top of the hill on which Warwick sits, and almost at the centre of the Bucks' prospect, its huge gothic-style tower soared above the town, crowning and fusing together, like a keystone in an arch, the entire urban landscape. In the medieval town it achieved a widespread and impressive physical impact in the form of cathedrals, ministers, parochial churches, chapels, chantries, religious guilds, monastic houses and hospitals. Behind the success of the Beverley appeal and project was the emergence of the town and urban centres like it, many with rich gothic architectural heritages as a place of fashionable resort and residence for the gentry and professions.
