"The Story of Coventry" by Mary Dormer Harris is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the rich and complex history of Coventry, highlighting its development from ancient times through significant events and figures, including the legendary Lady Godiva and the founding of the Benedictine Monastery. The opening of the book sets the stage with a detailed introduction that emphasizes the historical significance of Coventry, its architectural marvels, and its cultural heritage. Harris discusses various elements including the three famous spires that dominate the skyline, the decline of historical landmarks, and the legacy of the city’s storied past. The chapter begins with a focus on Leofric and Godiva, exploring the legendary tale of her famous ride and its implications for the local populace. The narrative weaves together folklore, historical facts, and the evolution of Civic governance, giving readers insight into how Coventry's history is intertwined with the broader saga of England itself.
