Standing in the heart of Coventry for over 650 years, St. Mary's Guildhall has witnessed events of both local and national importance during its long history, acting as a temporary prison for Mary Queen of Scots, a theatre for Shakespeare and his players, and surviving the devastating blitz of the Second World War.
