MenuThe Pleasance, Warwickshire
The Pleasance (aka The Pleasaunce)is a moated mediæval earthwork near Kenilworth in Warwickshire. It was constructed by Henry V in c.1414, primarily as a pleasure garden with a banqueting hall and used in preference to the state apartments at Kenilworth Castle by a restricted circle of mediæval aristocrats including the king himself. The hall was dismantled by Henvy VIII leaving only the earthwork. It is within the council area of Warwick (Warwickshire).
