Golden Cross, Coventry, Tudor pub in Hay Lane, Coventry, England
The Golden Cross features three vaulted upper floors with exposed timber framing, demonstrating traditional sixteenth-century architectural elements throughout the structure.
Originally established in 1583 during Queen Elizabeth I's reign, the building transformed from a private residence into a public house, receiving its first mention as an inn in 1661.
The upper club room has served as a venue for live music performances since the 1970s, maintaining regular events including jazz nights and weekly open mic sessions.
The establishment operates from Monday through Saturday, offering an entirely gluten-free menu alongside a selection of real ales, international gins, and traditional British dishes.
The building incorporates a specialized dragon beam in the ground-floor ceiling, enabling the jettied first floor to extend around the corner of the structure.
