Coventry Freemen's Guild

Coventry Freemen's Guild occupies the north undercroft of St Mary's Guildhall. It is from here that the Guild's business is administered. It was originally a row of three shops and at one point served as a tavern. There is normally an opportunity for members of the public to view this room each September, during Heritage Open weekend.
