Some residents and visitors will tell you the best thing about Bedworth is the ease of getting out. You might be forgiven for believing that.

Regular buses and hourly trains run to our nearest town and city, with some buses going further afield. From the neighbouring town and city, commuters can travel on to Birmingham, England’s second city.

I am sure there are countless others.
There were Anglo-Saxon Bishops of Leicester from around 680. The records of Leicester Cathedral cite Bishop Cuthwine as the first Bishop of Leicester.
