'Formed in 1994, the aim was to fulfill a growing need and to promote and encourage the study of family history, genealogy and local history in relation to the City of Coventry and its people. This has changed somewhat with the increasing amount of information available on the internet. ‘CFHS’ is still a great source of information, providing research and assistance for people with Coventry roots, to fill in the missing details of their ancestors ... Meetings are held on the second Monday of every month ... Coupled with our bookshop and library available at these meetings, we have excellent guest speakers ... The talks are varied and informative.'

'The perfect place to delve into Coventry’s history and engage with art and culture.

We have a wide range of talks, events and workshops for adults and families, encouraging creativity, exploration and fun.'
