Shree Mandhata Samaj Hindu community hall, Cross Road, Foleshill
The community hall occupies a former Primitive Methodist School of 1907, as can be seen from the inscriptions on the facade; there is also a large cross indelibly incorporated in the brickwork, standing out in relief. Paradise Primitive Methodist Chapel (Paradise is the name of the district) was first built in 1828, was rebuilt in 1865, and the Sunday school was built alongside it. The chapel has since been demolished. See Fry, D & Smith, A, The Coventry we have lost: Forgotten Foleshill, Simanda Press, 2018, p97.
According to its website, Shree Mandhata Samaj UK is an association of Koli Patels, a jati or caste originally from Navsari District in Gujarat, India. Many members subsequently emigrated to East Africa, where they adopted the name Mandhata Samaj for their community. They retained it when they moved later to Britain and other countries as political conditions became difficult for them in East Africa. https://www.amsuk.org/about-us/
