Historical Geography information for Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England
| Place Name | Nuneaton |
| Description | Nuneaton is the largest town in the Borough of Nuneaton and Bedworth and in the English county of Warwickshire. The town was listed in the Domesday Book as 'Etone', which translates as 'water-town'. Nuneaton's name came from a 12th-century Benedictine nunnery. The first recorded use of the modern name was in 1247 when a document recorded it as 'Nonne Eton'. The Nunnery fell into disrepair after 1539 with the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It started growing gradually in the 17th century. Because of a concentration of munition factories, Nuneaton suffered severe bombing during World War II. |
