Weddings are performed within its walls, and receptions take place in the Great Hall. Corporate events are a regular occurrence under the rare and antique ornamentations.
Built in the 1340’s, St. Mary’s Guildhall quickly became the meeting house city officials, including the mayor. Its Great Hall is completed with carved angels set into the ceiling and one whole wall is overlaid with the Coventry Tapestry, one of the rarest and most significant tapestries in England. The collection of antique furniture is matched by the assortment of old-world armor and weaponry. St. Mary’s Guildhall is one of the few places where medieval England has been preserved with astonishing care, providing a thoughtful and quiet place of reminiscence hidden in the midst of a modern bustling city. |
