CHEYLESMORE MANOR HOUSE 02476 833 141 | www.ceremoniesinsidecoventry.co.uk/ cheylesmoremanorceremonysuite Cheylesmore Manor House is the remnant of a Medieval royal palace in Coventry city centre. The magnificent timber building is a key piece of Coventry’s rich and important heritage. Previously the only unfortified royal palace outside of London, the venue is now used for wedding ceremonies. The manor is believed to have been built for the Earl of Arundel in 1237. By 1320, it had passed to Queen Isabella, wife of Edward II, along with the lavish Cheylesmore Park that surrounded it. Her grandson Edward, the Black Prince, took possession of it after her. The building we know today is, in fact, only the gatehouse and parts of two cross wings of the original manor house. The property houses three ceremony rooms: the Queen Isabella Room, the Black Prince Room and the Library Room. The Black Prince Room retains many original features, including a magnificent vaulted beamed ceiling with an impressive stone fireplace and Medieval chandeliers. Once the ceremony is over, guests will exit from the room via a winding staircase down to a huge oak door leading into a large stone-flagged courtyard, where a section of the city wall remains. A small wooden bridge within the courtyard provides delightful opportunities for photographs and memories of the special day. This is the largest of the manor’s ceremony rooms, accommodating 50 loved ones. With its beautiful beams, the Queen Isabella Room is tastefully furnished to a high standard. The room accommodates up to 20 nearest and dearest, with direct access into the room from the archway outside. Alternatively, the Library Room can hold up to 10 people and is located on the ground floor, making it accessible for wheelchair users. www.lufuweddings.co.uk www.lufuweddings.co.uk www.weddingfilmphotography.com www.facebook.com/sophieevansphotography 20
