On the outskirts of Stratford-upon-Avon, the Stratford Armouries boasts a broad range of historic arms and armor on display.
The museum's large collection was assembled over a period of some 250 years by the Wigington family, once one of the country's best-known weaponry manufacturers.
Highlights include a fully armored Indian elephant and one of the world's oldest cannons dating from 1450. Also of interest is a giant crossbow based upon original designs made by Leonardo da Vinci and a collection of artifacts related to Winston Churchill.
