WHAT DOES COVENTRY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Coventry

Coventry

Coventry i/ˈkɒvəntri/ is a city and metropolitan borough in the county of West Midlands in England. Historically part of Warwickshire, Coventry is the 10th-largest city in England and the 13th-largest UK city overall. It is also the second largest city in the West Midlands region, after Birmingham, with a population of 316,900 at the 2011 UK census. Coventry is situated 95 miles north-west of central London, 19 miles east-south-east of Birmingham, 24 miles south-west of Leicester and 10 miles north of the county town of Warwick. It is further from the coast than any other city in Britain. Although harbouring a population of almost a third-of-a-million inhabitants, Coventry is not amongst the English Core Cities Group due to its proximity to Birmingham. Approximately half-a-million people live within 10 miles of Coventry city centre. Coventry was the world's first twin city, when it formed a twinning relationship with the Russian city of Stalingrad during World War II. The relationship developed through ordinary people in Coventry who wanted to show their support for the Soviet Red Army during the Battle of Stalingrad.
