Church Centre @ Trinity House (formerly Old Blue Coat School)
Holy Trinity has had a number of other buildings for use by congregations and clergy over the years.
The previous church centre was removed to make way for uncovering the old priory ruins. So the church was subsequently offered the use of the
Old Blue Coat School which had stood opposite the church since 1856.
After a long period standing empty, the building needed substantial renovation. We now have a beautiful and unusual building that we can hire out to individuals or groups for various events, and which we use for youth and children’s work, meetings and church groups, as well as spending time together over coffee and/or meals.
Trinity House has a number of rooms which, when not in use by the church, are available for external organisations and groups to hire.

History of the Old Blue Coat School
The Old Blue Coat School is a unique and historic building nestling between
Priory Row and the Priory Gardens in Coventry city centre.
The current building dates from 1856, the actual school having been founded as the first Charity School for girls in Coventry in 1714.
Having not been in use for many years, it was completely re-furbished as part of the Phoenix Initiative development in celebration of 2000 years since Christ’s birth.
Now run by Holy Trinity, Trinity House has been transformed and plays an important role in the rejuvenation of this historic part of the City Centre.
The building itself was constructed over one corner of the original St Mary’s Cathedral. The evidence of this can be seen today in the cellars of the building which are actually inside one of the original pillars of the Cathedral, dating from around 1150AD.
