3-6 Priory Row (also known as Lychgate Cottages) is a row of three timber-framed properties dating to around 1415. It is a remarkable survival of a pre-Dissolution building at the heart of Coventry’s high street area.

This is a very good example of a timber-framed building of the early 15th century, with close-studded timbers and jettied floor which are evocative of its status as a good quality medieval urban building. The principal timbers throughout show little evidence of re-use and demonstrate that the original structure survives well. The buildings were restored and extended in 1857 by architect James Murray, (who is buried in London Road Cemetery). Visitors will be able to view the cottages and a small exhibition about some of the people who have lived there.
