A History of Coventry Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Less than 10 available - usually despatched within 24 hours

Description

The author, well known as the writer of more books on the city than anyone, explores Coventry's history from Roman times through Earl Leofric, Godiva and the Norman castle, to monastic houses, including St Mary's priory.

Coventry has a rich medieval heritage, and rose to power in the Wars of the Roses, when the royal court moved there.

Major themes in the city's history are discussed, through previously unknown source material, covering the Siege and Civil War, education, health, the church, crime and punishment, and industries from medieval weaving to modern car-building.
