Co-ordinated locally by Coventry City Council, the event celebrates Coventry’s architecture, culture and local and social history. Visitors have the chance to explore some behind-the-scenes areas that are not usually open to the public and are given FREE access to participating venues that normally charge. As always there is a wide variety of events, buildings and tours and it is great to be able to get back to in-person events after the limiting circumstances of last year, although, of course, we must continue to do all we can to keep ourselves and others safe and every part of the Festival has been planned with COVID safety measures in mind.. Thank you to all the volunteers and members of the Coventry Guild of Tour Guides who hold Green Badges and/or Blue badges, for all their hard work in making sure these events go ahead in a safe manner, and thank you in advance to all of you for supporting the event and following all the safety advice. This year, Coventry holds the title of UK City of Culture and the Festival is an important part of that year. The events in this guide highlight the amazing history and culture that our city has to offer and shine a light on some of the city’s hidden gems. We hope you enjoy the events and find something for all the family to enjoy across the 10 days.

In ancient times an annual feast was held in September. After a break of 500 years Pru Porretta MBE,Coventry’s official Lady Godiva restored the feast day back onto the city calendar. Dame Goodyver’s Daye gets bigger and better each year by including more faiths and cultures, and more Godiva Sisters. Please see the film link https://youtu.be/Ir-0W8Nb0XE Godiva Trust is a registered charity that aims to advance the education of the general public in the history of Coventry and the legend of Lady Godiva. Including the promotion of unity, advancing education and raising awareness in equality and diversity, and promoting activities to foster understanding between people from diverse backgrounds for the people of Coventry. For many years Godiva Trust has successfully engaged with various community and faith groups, community organisations, schools, and hard to reach groups within the city of Coventry. Pru reimagined the role of Godiva from a spectated figurehead on a horse to a strong female leader working with other female heroines from different cultures to empower their communities and to celebrate diversity across those communities collaboratively. These are the Godiva Sisters and the annual Dame Goodyver’s Daye celebrates this. Heritage Activities – • Join us on Friday 16th September at 11.00am by the Godiva Statue.

Having not been in use for many years, it was completely re-furbished as part of the Phoenix Initiative development in celebration of 2000 years since Christ’s birth. The Old Bluecoat School has been transformed and plays an important role in this key part of the city centre. In recent years, it has been used as a residential school for youth ministry training at various times during the year, welcoming students from around the world. The building itself was constructed over one corner of the original St Mary’s Cathedral. The evidence of this can be seen today in the cellars of the building which are actually inside one of the original pillars of the Cathedral, dating from around 1150AD.

  • Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
    Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is the national record of people who have shaped British history, worldwide, from the Romans to the 21st century. The Oxford DNB (ODNB) currently includes the life stories of over 60,000 men and women who died in or before 2017. Over 1,300 of those lives contain references to Coventry, whether of events, offices, institutions, people, places, or sources preserved there. Of these, over 160 men and women in ODNB were either born, baptized, educated, died, or buried there. Many more, of course, spent periods of their life in Coventry and left their mark on the city’s history and its built environment. This survey brings together over 300 lives in ODNB connected with Coventry, ranging over ten centuries, extracted using the advanced search ‘life event’ and ‘full text’ features on the online site (www.oxforddnb.com). The same search functions can be used to explore the biographical histories of other places in the Coventry region: Kenilworth produces references in 229 articles, including 44 key life events; Leamington, 235 and 95; and Nuneaton, 69 and 17, for example. Most public libraries across the UK subscribe to ODNB, which means that the complete dictionary can be accessed for free via a local library. Libraries also offer 'remote access' which makes it possible to log in at any time at home (or anywhere that has internet access). Elsewhere, the ODNB is available online in schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions worldwide.

  • The Stourbridge School of Art and Its Relations with the Glass Industry of the Stourbridge District, 1850-1905
    A PROVINCIAL SCHOOL OF ART AND LOCAL INDUSTRY: THE STOURBRIDGE SCHOOL OF ART AND ITS RELATIONS WITH THE GLASS INDUSTRY OF THE STOURBRIDGE DISTRICT, 1850-1905 by JAMES SCOTT MEASELL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham April 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

ABSTRACT Founded in 1851, the Stourbridge School of Art offered instruction in drawing, art and design to students engaged in industries, especially glass. Using social history methodology and primary sources such as Government reports, local newspapers and school records, this thesis explores the school’s development from 1850 to 1905 and explicates its relationships with the local glass industry. Within the context of political, economic, social and cultural forces, the school contributed to the town’s civic culture and was supported by gentry, clergy and industrialists. The governing Council held public meetings and art exhibitions and dealt with management issues. Working class men attended evening classes. Women from wealthy families attended morning classes.

  • Godiva Awakes First Gold Patron Leads Way in a Mission for Regeneration of Local Business Community
    Godiva Awakes first Gold Patron leads way in a mission for regeneration of local business community Leading Coventry business recovery specialist, Cranfield, is inspiring other local companies to come together to support the regions involvement in the London 2012 Olympic Games. As the first Gold Patron of Godiva Awakes, which represents the regions involvement in the Games, Cranfield is sending the message that the event represents much more for the future of business within the Midlands than just being a creative Olympic project. Godiva Awakes sees a mechanically engineered six-metre animated Lady Godiva puppet, powered by 100 cyclists on a Cyclopaedia designed and manufactured by local businesses, on her seven-day journey from Coventry to London, accompanied by a carnival of over 220 dancers and performers. Cranfield’s managing director, Tony Mitchell, who takes a proactive role in the local business community, was recently invited to the maiden unveiling of Godiva’s luxurious coat, which will cover the puppet. Within the lining of the coat each of the ten patrons will have their own embroidered panel. After Godiva’s procession to London, the coat will be on display in Coventry Cathedral following the Olympics. Cranfield initially became a patron of the project in November 2011 after directors Tony Mitchell and Patrick Murtagh attended a mystery tour event when the project was announced, and Gold Patrons were invited to support it. The event involved travelling in a vintage bus from the Coventry Transport Museum to a secret location in Coventry to see Godiva take her first steps in public. This sparked a keen interest from Tony and Patrick, who could see the potential for this ambitious project to symbolise regeneration of the various industries throughout the region.

  • COVENTRY, Connecticut
    COVENTRY, Connecticut By Stephanie Summers Some 20 miles east of Hartford lies Coventry, a place Native Americans called Wangumbaug, meaning “crooked pond,” after the shape of the then-300-acre lake within its bounds. The town is probably best known as the birthplace of America’s young Revolutionary War hero Nathan Hale, who when captured as a spy against the British and facing the gallows said, “I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” But its claims to history are much more varied. From the Civil War to the onset of the Great Depression, its strategic waterways fed one of the highest concentrations of mills in New England, with, at the peak, 16 plants built along the Mill Brook. To this day, South Coventry Village retains its authenticity, interrupted by two small, modern-day commercial retail buildings. Used primarily by the Mohegans as a hunting ground with no signs of settlement, the land was given in a will to a group of white settlers in 1675 by Joshua, third son of the sachem Uncas. Sixteen white families, mostly from Hartford and Northampton, Mass., settled the area in 1709. It was named for Coventry, England, in 1711 and incorporated a year later. A church and grist mill were established in short order. In 2010 the U.S. Census estimated Coventry’s population at 12,428 in an area of 38.4 square miles within Tolland County. During the Revolution, the town was of a considerable size, with 2,032 white and 24 black residents. The town divided itself into two societies of sorts, connected to the two early churches.

    CODA PARTICIPATING IN SYMBOLS OF DEATH Like Nicholas Love’s Mirror, The Somonyng of Everyman is adapted from a Continental text, in this case from the Dutch Elckerlijc. As reading matter designed to appeal to the merchant and artisan classes in an urban setting, Everyman invokes neither pastoral nor monastic contemplation but rather invites participation through an imaginative confrontation with Death and subsequent pilgrimage leading to entry into the grave. The study of Everyman in terms of participation in the symbols of death and dying can serve as an appropriate capstone to the present volume, hence originally intended to be a final chapter.

    WALES AND THE WARS OF THE ROSES CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS C. F. CLAY, Manager ILcinfcott: FETTER LANE, E.C. EBmburgfj: 100 PRINCES STREET §& : WALES AND THE WARS OF THE ROSES BY HOWELL T. EVANS, M.A. St John's College, Cambridge Cambridge at the University Press 1915 : £ V*. ©amtrrtrge PRINTED BY JOHN CLAY, M.A. AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS PREFACE AS its title suggests, the present volume is an attempt to ** examine the struggle between Lancaster and York from the standpoint of Wales and the Marches. Contemporary chroniclers give us vague and fragmentary reports of what happened there, though supplementary sources of informa- tion enable us to piece together a fairly consecutive and intelligible story. From the first battle of St Albans to the accession of Edward IV the centre of gravity of the military situation was in the Marches : Ludlow was the chief seat of the duke of York, and the vast Mortimer estates in mid-Wales his favourite recruiting ground. It was here that he experienced his first serious reverse—at Ludford Bridge; it was here, too, that his son Edward, earl of March, won his way to the throne—at Mortimer's Cross. Further, Henry Tudor landed at Milford Haven, and with a predominantly Welsh army defeated Richard III at Bosworth. For these reasons alone unique interest attaches to Wales and the Marches in this thirty years' war; and it is to be hoped that the investigation will throw some light on much that has hitherto remained obscure. 331684 vi PREFACE I have ventured to use contemporary Welsh poets as authorities ; this has made it necessary to include a chapter on their value as historical evidence.
