The City of Coventry Freemen's Guild was formed in 1946.

The Guild has civic, moral, charitable and social responsibilities and is non-political, non-sectarian and religiously impartial.

The Guild is recognised officially by the Council and the Master and one other representative have a place in the order of Civic Processions.

Every newly admitted Freeman is invited to join the Guild and thus have the opportunity of keeping in touch with all matters relative to the affairs of the Freemen of the City of Coventry.

In Coventry the only way one can become a Freeman is by servitude. This is rather unique since other cities mostly introduce their candidates by redemption (by payment) or by patrimony (hereditary father to son or in some cases father to daughter).
