St Mary's Guildhall, Medieval guildhall in Cathedral Quarter, Coventry, England
St Mary's Guildhall features a grand medieval hall with a hammer-beam roof, intricate wood carvings, and stained glass windows spanning multiple centuries.
The guildhall, constructed between 1340 and 1342, served as a meeting place for merchant guilds and later housed Mary Queen of Scots during political turmoil.
The fifteenth-century Coventry Tapestry displayed in the Great Hall depicts royal figures and stands as a rare example of medieval English textile art.

A medieval kitchen, revealed during recent renovations, displays original cooking facilities and storage areas from the fourteenth century.
