| Meriden Warwickshire The village lies six miles north west of Coventry and the main road from Birmingham used to carry heavy traffic through it, but a by-pass has left it in quiet seclusion. It has claims to be the centre of England if such an irregularly shaped country can have a centre. The old oak (now felled) at Lillington and High Cross on Watling Street have similar traditional claims. The original spelling was Merideon, and Meridon is also found. There is a memorial to cyclists who died in the two World Wars in the centre of the village. The oldest archery society in England, The Woodmen of Arden, meet at Forest Hall. The Norman church has a monument to Sir John Wyard, Mayor of London in 1375. There are a number of old buildings, the half-timbered moat house dates from 1609. |
