 historical building  Add category
One of the finest medieval guildhalls in England, and one of Coventry's most splendid and historic buildings. Standing in the heart of Coventry for over 650 years, the Guildhall served as the centre of King Henry VI's court during the Wars of the Roses and briefly as a prison to Mary, Queen of Scots. William Shakespeare is thought to have staged plays here, whilst writer George Eliot, who knew the hall well, used it as the setting for a scene in one of her novels.
