The Weaver's House

The Weaver's House The Weaver’s House is a restored medieval working man's house in Spon End, Coventry. We can open by arrangement for small groups.

Our Open Days programme is back for 2026. We are a small charity and we are free to visit. The Weaver's House

In Spon Street, one of the most historic streets in Coventry, a terrace of six cottages built in 1455 has been brought back to life. One of the cottages has been restored to show how it would have looked in 1540. This shows how John Croke, a Coventry narrow-loom weaver and his family wou

ld have lived and worked. You can also see a replica of the loom that he would have used. Medieval Garden

At the back of the Weaver’s House is a medieval garden showing the plants that would have been grown for food, flavouring, medicine and household use. Open Days

At our free open days you can hear talks about the life of John Croke and the history of the buildings. Open Days can include demonstrations of weaving, spinning, embroidery and other activities connected with medieval life. Entry is free, but we are grateful if you can make a small donation.

It's Volunteers Week and we want to give a huge shout out of thanks to all our volunteers at The Weaver's House.

One thing that really stands out is our visitors comments book which is filled to the brim with positive comments for our volunteers.

And without all our volunteers we simply wouldn't be able to open the house and garden to the public for free.

From tour guides and experts in Weaver's House and garden history, to the gardeners, the bakers of the best cakes ever, the craft demonstrators, the trustees, the front of house folks and the and the behind the scenes support - we couldn't do any of this without of you!

Thank you 🙏

Our next open day is on Saturday 6th June.

Our May Open Day saw the launch of our new (olde) tea room. Over the past few years we have been serving our homemade cakes from a gazebo outside to use this room for storage but we have moved back into the tea room inside for this year and beyond. It was a lot of work so thank you to our volunteers!

It also provided the chance to show off some of our newly acquired collection of traditional irons.

It was a lovely sunny day so plenty of people took the opportunity to sit in the garden to enjoy the refreshments.

You can come and experience the house, garden (and the cake!) for yourself on our next Open Day on Saturday June 6th.

This is also the weekend of MotoFest Coventry – in previous years people have enjoyed the opportunity to pop out from the city centre and along Spon Street to enjoy the contrast of cars and heritage crafts!
