| | Kenilworth Castle |
 | | The town of Kenilworth, which contains the remains of this magnificent castle, is situated in the county of Warwickshire, and is distant 95 miles N.W. from London, about five miles from Coventry, and nearly an equal distance from Warwick. |
 | | In the 'Princely Pleasures of Kenilworth,' the castle is described as existing in the reign of King Arthur, and the Saxon king is only mentioned as repairing and improving the structure. |
 | | He was removed from Kenilworth in the night time, by Sir Thomas Berkeley and Sir John Maltravers, who, in an open field between this place and Warwick, are said to have set him down on the bare ground, and shaved him with dirty water out of a neighbouring ditch. |
