Finham is a civil parish and suburb of Coventry in the region of the West Midlands, England located on the border of the West Midlands county and Warwick District. It lies approximately 2.3 miles (4 km) south of Coventry city centre, 3.3 miles (5 km) north-east of the centre of Kenilworth and 7 miles (11 km) north-east of the centre of Warwick.
Historically located entirely within the parish of Stoneleigh, the majority of the residences in Finham were transferred to the jurisdiction of Coventry City Council in 1974 as part of the local government reorganisation in 1974, though the parts of Finham that lie south of Green Lane and Howes Lane remain in the ceremonial county of Warwickshire. Finham shares the area and road of Green Lane along its northern boundary on the A45 with the suburb of Styvechale/Stivichall, and part of its southeastern boundary is shared with the village of Baginton in Warwickshire.[1] The hamlet of King's Hill lies within a mile of Finham at Coventry's southernmost point and the village of Stoneleigh lies south of Finham where St Martins Road meets the Finham Brook. Finham Parish Council was created on 1 April 2016.[2]
Finham is one of Coventry's most prosperous districts, especially the area east of Leamington Road and is popular with professionals working in Warwick, Leamington Spa and Kenilworth.
Finham is roughly triangular in shape; its northern boundary is along the Kenpas Highway (A45); its southeastern boundary is along the A46, and its southwestern boundary is, for the most part, along Green Lane. Finham Park School and Finham Primary School, are the two schools in Finham.
