Warwick Castle
In 1604, King James I "presented the by now dilapidated castle to Sir Fulke Greville. (The title Earl of Warwick, however, was conferred upon Lord Rich in 1618 and it remained in his family until 1759)." Greville was Chancellor of the Exchequer until 1621. "Greville was elevated to the peerage as Baron Brooke." Greville was murdered in 1628 by a his manservant in the Ghost Tower. The estate passed to his adopted heir, Robert Greville, the 2nd Lord Brooke.The excellent condition of the castle is due to the efforts of Sir Greville. He "dedicated a large sum of money and the rest of his ‘worthy’ life to the restoration of the castle." He built the Chapel in the early 1600s. It is built on the site of the old chapel founded in 1119. Until 1900, the families of the Earls of Warwick worshiped in this chapel. The medieval stained glass windows in the Chapel were presented by the Earl of Exeter in 1759. There are also Flemish wood carvings which date back to 1740.
