Southam

This attractive town grew up at the intersection of several roads, including the Welsh Road used by cattle drovers en route to London. Southam and its "Halliwell" (now the Holy Well) was first mentioned in 998 when it was granted to the Priory of Coventry by King Ethelred. In 1227 it was granted a charter for a market and annual fair. Important sites include the striking St James Church, founded 1294, and the Old Mint Inn where Charles I is said to have minted coins for his troops after the nearby Battle of Edgehill in 1642. Southam today has a population of around 6500 people.
