Called Frer Gate in 1421, Greyfriars' Gate was licensed to be built with stone from Cheylesmore Park in 1385 and was the main exit to Kenilworth and Warwick. Occupied from 1705 and demolished in 1781, it had flanking circular towers with conical roofs; the two lower storeys formed an embattled projection into Warwick Lane, the gateway arch being surmounted by pointed two-light windows alternating with pinnacled niches.
