About Ford's Hospital

Historic Architecture, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Buildings And Structures

Ford's Hospital, Coventry, traditionally known as Grey Friars Hospital, is a grade I listed 16th century half-timbered almshouse in Greyfriars Lane, Coventry. It was founded by the merchant William Ford (or perhaps 'Fourd') in 1509 to provide accommodation for six elderly people: five men and one woman. Despite the earlier name of "Grey Friars", it bears no relationship to the Franciscan Order but was so named because of its location on Greyfriars Lane.

Inside the building is a narrow courtyard (13 yd × 4 yd (11.9 m × 3.7 m)). It has been considered by historians and writers to be a particularly fine example of English domestic architecture of the period.
