The Warwickshire Championships, also known as the Warwickshire County Championships, was a men's and women's grass court tennis tournament held at Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England. It was founded on 1 August 1882[1] and held until 1931 as part of the pre-open era tennis tour.[2] As of 2023, the tournament is staged as a local county championship.[3][4]

History

Raynor and Mr. Edward Lake Williams,[7] the Warwickshire women's doubles was won by Miss. J.C. Kay and Miss. W.E. Graham, and the Warwickshire pairs was won by Erskine Gerald Watson and Maud Watson.[8]
