Thirteenth Century

In the 13th century, lots of people from all over the country and even from Europe came to Coventry looking for work. The Priory was very powerful by this time.

In this century, part of the Holy Trinity Church was destroyed by fire (1257).

Bayley Lane was very different, as Coventry Castle would have been standing nearby.
