Once an Inn, dating back to around 1715, The Elephant & Castle is now a stylish, modern home with six bedrooms, open-plan kitchen, stunning dining room and separate annexe, all set in 1.6 acres of gardens in the heart of Rowington. The home has been completely re-modelled, extended and re-furbished by a team of craftsmen and interior designers. The result is a large, modern house with lots of original touches and period features. The name Elephant & Castle is believed to be derived from the original publican who used the Coventry coats of Arms as a pub sign. At the end of the 19th Century, Jane Ryland, of Shakespeare Hall, Rowington, was a regular church goer. Her route to St Lawrence Church was via Queens Drive and past The Elephant. She was not impressed with the drinking going on as she passed and so decided to buy the Inn and close it down. In return, she set up the Working Mens Club, which still exists today.
