[edit] Sent to Coventry

I don't know much about the history of the Battle of Preston, but I do know one (hopefully) interesting fact...

Scottish Royalist prisoners from this battle were housed at St John the Baptist's Church in Coventry. There they were shunned by the locals, thus giving rise to the phrase "Sent to Coventry". I do have a source for this info - the church's own website: http://www.stjohn-the-baptist.co.uk/history.htm. Would it be possible for this fact to be entered onto this articl in an appropriate place? StephenBuxton 12:51, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
