ROYAL COVENTRY (PRE-ORDER)
Royal Coventry will be released on Monday, 15 June 2026. Pre-order to receive a unique copy, individually numbered and signed by both authors.
This pocket-sized walking guidebook by local historians Adam Wood and Laura Keep gives step by step directions to visit locations associated with 1,000 years of royal visits and connections through Coventry's long history.
From James II's famous custard mishap and Princess Elizabeth's narrow escape from the Gunpowder Plot, to Richard II's legendary duel that never was, and George VI’s moving wartime visits to our blitzed city, Royal Coventry reveals the fascinating, dramatic and sometimes awkward tales of the royals who have shaped Coventry.
Price includes delivery in the UK.
