"Swanswell Gate and Cook Street Gate are the last remaining two of an original twelve gatehouses that once punctuated Coventry’s medieval city wall. Today, they stand in Coventry’s city centre framed by Lady Herbert’s Garden, as a monument to the city’s heritage."
"3-6 Priory Row (also known as Lychgate Cottages) is a row of timber-framed properties dating to around 1415. It is a remarkable survival of a pre-Dissolution building at the heart of Coventry’s high street area."
