History

Southam was a Royal manor prior to Ethelread the Unready granting it to Earl Leofwine in AD 998. It is listed in the Domesday Book as “Sucham.” The town was under the Coventry Priory (later Coventry Cathedral) from the 11th century to the 16th century, when the cathedral had to give up its estates the Crown during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

Attractions

Historical sites are a feature in Southam. There’s a good mixture of Tudor structures as well as buildings dating back to the 17th century. Oxford Street, Market Hill, High Street, and Coventry Street offer an interesting selection of independent stores. Cafes, takeaways, and pubs are also a feature in town.

Southam hosts a weekly outdoor market every Tuesday morning while a monthly Farmer’s Market is staged every second Saturday of the month.
