The Weaver's House

Come and explore a piece of Coventry’s medieval history at our fascinating site, which was rescued from the threat of demolition! The Weaver’s House has been restored to show how it would have looked in 1540. This shows how John Croke, a Coventry narrow-loom weaver and his family would have lived and worked. You can also see a replica of the loom that he would have used. The Weaver’s House is a two storey building, the upper floor containing the loom is accessed by a ladder. At the back of the Weaver’s House is a medieval garden showing the plants that would have been grown for food, flavouring, medicine and household use.
