A History of Coventry by David Mcgrory
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.
David McGrory is a prolific and respected local historian. He has written a large number of local history books and also wrote a popular column for Coventry Evening Telegraph for five years. He lives in Coventry.
