coventry (disambiguation)

Coventry is a city in England (population 304,746). With this meaning, several Royal Navy ships have been named (see HMS Coventry). There are several U.S. towns named Coventry:

Coventry, Connecticut (population 11,504)
Coventry, New York (population 1,589)
Coventry, Rhode Island (population 33,668)
Coventry, Vermont (population 1,014)

To be "sent to Coventry" is to be ostracised, shunned, or otherwise systematically ignored. The phrase dates from the English Civil War, when a military prison was located in the city.
