Swanswell Gate was one of 12 original medieval city wall gates, and is one of only two remaining (the other being Cook Street Gate). The building was completed around 1440 and was then known as Priory Gate, having originally served as the entrance to the prior’s land. Remains of Coventry’s city walls can be found in the adjacent Lady Herbert’s Garden.
