- **Event Name**: CHANGED - The Civil War by Paul Thompson
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 10 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Tue, 10 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The English Civil War is often romanticised yet its scale of suffering and loss was not equalled till the First World War.In fact the war could be said to have begun when the King besieged the City before raising his standard at Nottingham in 1642 - the event which traditionally marks the start of the struggle. The speaker will look at the war and its effects, mainly from a local point of view and in particular that of parliament since the royalist cause had few supporters in Coventry after the siege and the City became a parliamentarian stronghold.
