    Hiking

    Otherwise known as Christchurch Spire.

    Greyfriars was a medieval monastic house in Coventry. The original monastic buildings were lost in the reformation, the spire standing on the site today was most recently part of a 19th century church that was destroyed in an air raid in the Second World War.

    Hiking

    The story of the spire begins in the early 13th Century, when the Earl of Chester, Ranulf de Blondeville, authorised Franciscan monks to erect a monastery on his Cheylesmore Manor estate – the land beneath your very feet. This monastery became known as Greyfriars, named after their grey robes.

    In 1234, King Henry III gifted timber to build the monastic Greyfriars church and the estate was enlarged again in 1289 when more land was gifted to the monastery by, Roger de Monalt, Earl of Chester.
