11 Priory Row, Coventry
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 23 Aug 2011
One of three sublime early-Georgian houses surviving in the city centre. Described as "new" in 1741. The facade is distinguished by six fluted Ionic pilasters, attic storey above an emphatic cornice, windows with keystones and pedimented doorcase with Gibbs surrounds. Grade II listed. The fine wrought-iron gates and overthrow are separately listed (Image]). A plaque records that it was heavily restored after bomb damage - in fact only the front is Georgian. I believe it is now used in some capacity by Holy Trinity church.
