From the Wikipedia article
Greyfriars was a medieval Franciscan priory in Coventry, England. The original monastic buildings were lost in the English Reformation; the spire standing on the site today was most recently part of a 19th-century church that was destroyed in an air raid in the Second World War. The spire, also called Christchurch Steeple, is a Grade II* listed building.
