There are ten scheduled monuments in Coventry. In the United Kingdom, a scheduled monument is a "nationally important" archaeological site or historic building that has been given protection against unauthorised change by being placed on a list (or "schedule") by the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport; English Heritage takes the leading role in identifying such sites. Monuments are defined in the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 and the National Heritage Act 1983. Coventry is an ancient city and a metropolitan borough in the West Midlands of England. The city's history dates back to at least the 11th century (CE), and by the 14th century, it was a thriving centre of commerce. The oldest monuments in Coventry – Caludon Castle and St Mary's Priory and Cathedral – were built in the 11th century. Both are now ruins. Coventry's newest scheduled monument is Vignoles Bridge (pictured) – a single-span iron footbridge over the River Sherbourne, made in 1835 and moved to its current location in 1969. (Full list...)
