Blue Coat School, Coventry

Placeholder for Blue Coat School, Coventry plaque

Blue Coat School The north west tower survived into the 17th century and was converted into a house. In about 1714, it was taken over by the new charity school for girls. Much of the tower was demolished in 1857 when the present school building was erected to a design by James Murray. The lowermost part of the medieval tower does survive and it's exterior is best seen at the bottom of the steps on the next level down.
