38–39 Bayley Lane, Medieval undercroft in central Coventry, England
The fourteenth-century cellar spans two square bays forming a rectangular room measuring 21 by 11 feet with sandstone walls and ribbed vault ceiling.
The undercroft belonged to a wealthy merchant clothier and represents the economic status of Bayley Lane after the establishment of St Mary's Guildhall.
The cellar contains niches in its western and southern walls that were specifically designed for storing valuable merchant goods in medieval times.
The medieval undercroft remains accessible through the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, with an entrance located on the western side of the structure.
The northern wall features an original window opening that utilized the natural topography of the land to illuminate the underground storage space.
