Question

In what English County is Coventry City?

Answer 1

Coventry was originally a part of the county of Warwickshire. However during the medieval period Coventry became an important city in its own right.

King Henry VI granted Coventry the status of a county in itself, largely to reward the city for the support it had given him. This existed between 1451 and 1842.

There are no cities in Warwickshire since both Coventry and Birmingham were incorporated into the West Midlands county in 1974 and are now metropolitan authorities in themselves.

Answer 2

West Midlands.

Answer 3

is a city and metropolitan borough in the county of West Midlands in England. With a population of 303,475 at the 2001 Census (306,000 est. 2007), Coventry is the 9th largest city in England and the 11th largest in the United Kingdom.[1] It is also the second largest city after Birmingham in the English Midlands by population, although both Nottingham and Leicester have larger urban areas.

Coventry is situated 95 miles (153 km) northwest of London and 19 miles (30 km) east of Birmingham, and is notable for being further inland 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.

Coventry was also the world's first 'twin city' when it formed a twinning relationship with the Russian city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd) during World War II. The city is also subsequently twinned with Dresden, as a gesture of peace and reconciliation, and 27 others around the world.
