History
Coombe Abbey was, by the 13th century, one of the richest monasteries in Warwickshire. It was dissolved in 1539 and the main building subsequently used as a domestic residence.The Craven family owned the Abbey for some 300 years from 1622. During the Craven era, Baron Craven was granted a licence to enclose 650 acres to create a park to the south of Coombe Abbey. In 1771 the 6th Baron Craven commissioned Lancelot 'Capability' Brown to create a naturalistic park which included a serpentine lake of some 77 acres and a Menagerie. The Menagerie, designed by Henry Holland, Brown's son in law, was inspired by the Menagerie at Versailles. Many such buildings were erected in Britain at the time and Coombe's is one of only two that remain.The farm buildings were built, probably a few years later, adjacent to the Menagerie, to store food and bedding for the animals in the Menagerie and to provide space for sheltered winter accommodation for the exotic beasts. What is now 1 Coombe Warren was the corn store (the wooden wheel for hoisting sacks of corn up to the store is still in place). Part of no.2 was a cowshed and part of no.3 was the pigsty.The estate was broken up and sold after WW1. After WWII the park was gradually reassembled by Coventry City Council, now the freeholder, to form Coombe Abbey Country Park. The former abbey is now a four-star hotel. The Park offers plenty to explore in its 500 acres of beautiful gardens, woodland, lakeside walks, and bird hides. ()Coombe Abbey hotel is listed grade IThe Menagerie is listed grade II*The Park is a grade II* registered landscape.
