Hall Green cottages, Windmill Road, Foleshill
Foleshill was a large parish of scattered settlements, with houses built around greens or spread out along roads. Coal mining, ribbon weaving and agriculture dominated the local economy. The parish fields were enclosed in 1775 and Windmill Lane, today Windmill Road, was laid out at this time. These cottages, part of a settlement historically known as Hall Green, would have been built alongside the road some time later. The change of name to Windmill Road reflects the spread of Coventry suburbs into the area at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries. See David Fry & Albert Smith, The Coventry we have lost: Forgotten Foleshill, Simanda Press, 2018.

Footpath alongside the mill race, Hall Green
A mill race is a channel constructed to conduct water away from a stream or river to power the wheel of a watermill and then onwards to rejoin the main stream again. This path runs alongside the course of the mill race downstream from Foleshill Mill, along which the water flowed from the mill back into the River Sowe. Mill and mill race can be seen on the OS six inch map (1888-1913 series). There is no sign of them now. Just beyond the cast iron posts the path bridges the modern course of the Sowe, immediately downstream from where it was joined by the mill race. It then follows the course of the mill race to Mill House, an 18th century house Image

The stone insert gives a date of 1882 when I presume this brick extension to the church was built.
