Editing Kenilworth (section)

===17th and 18th centuries===
During the [[English Civil War]], Kenilworth Castle, was occupied by [[Roundhead|Parliamentarians]], after the [[Cavalier|Royalist]] garrison was withdrawn. After the end of the war, the castle's defences were [[Slighting|slighted]] on the orders of Parliament in 1649, after which the castle became a ruin.<ref name="VKKH"/><ref>{{cite web |title=Kenilworth Castle: Phase 3 |url=https://www.ourwarwickshire.org.uk/content/catalogue_her/kenilworth-castle-phase-3 |publisher=Our Warwickshire |access-date=8 September 2021}}</ref>

In 1778 [[The Water Tower, Kenilworth|Kenilworth windmill]] was built. In 1884, it was converted into a [[water tower]], by the addition of a large water tank on the top of the tower in the place of the sails. It continued to be the town's main water supply until 1939, and finally became disused in 1960. It is still a local landmark, but is now a private home.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kenilworth Windmill |url=https://www.ourwarwickshire.org.uk/content/article/kenilworth-windmill-2 |publisher=Our Warwickshire |access-date=7 September 2021}}</ref>
