The unveiling event on Saturday (July 3) was also attended by the leader of the Warwick Town Council, Cllr Moira-Ann Grainger, and deputy leader Cllr Noel Butler.
The blue plaque initiative was introduced by Warwick Town Council over six years ago and this is the fifth plaque to be unveiled in the town.
The blue plaques are supplied by Warwick Town Council to recognise people and places within the Warwick CV34 area and to commemorate a lasting contribution to the community.
