Viewed across The Holloway, Coventry Hospital is a Grade II listed row of almshouses built in the 17th century. This was a hospital in the medieval sense of a charitable institution for the housing and maintenance of the needy. A plaque http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5196743 on the building shows Founded by The Right Honorable Henry Coventry, son of the Right Honorable Thomas, Lord Coventry, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England in the Reign of King Charles the First. I don't know the date of the plaque, but the use of what is now the standard American spelling honorable for honourable is interesting.
