Cheylesmore Manor House, Coventry, Warwickshire.
Cheylesmore Manor is an historic building in Coventry City Centre and is the home of Coventry's Registry Office. Parts of the building date back to 1250 and Edward the Black Prince and Henry VI were among the royals who lived there.
Cheylesmore Manor is a 13th-century medieval house and former royal palace in the heart of historic Coventry. The manor was probably built in 1237 for the Earl of Arundel. The first record of the name 'Cheylesmore Manor House' came in 1275. The manor later passed to the crown, and when Edward III exiled his mother, Queen Isabella, from court in 1330 it was to Cheylesmore Manor that she retreated. Edward, the Black Prince, and Henry VI were among those who lived at the Manor House. Remnants of the house survived the Second World War but were demolished in 1955 as part of the post-war development of the town.
As a massive history lover I enjoy nothing more than shooting weddings at the wonderful Cheylesmore Manor which is steeped in history. You can feel the history in the beams, the doors and floors.
Inside the venue has a warm glow about it with wooden beams, stone fireplaces and huge oak doors.
Outside the venue has a lovely wooden bridge in the central courtyard which is an ideal location for photographs.
