Or a cow to get cowpox. It was from cowpox, the smallpox vaccination was derived.

Reminds me of the old quiz question, Brechin City. Not a city at all.

And neither Stockport or Newport are counties.

Within London, the "City of London' has a cathedral whereas Southwark has a cathedral and is not a city while Westminster is a city without a cathedral unless you count the Roman Catholic one.

Coventry has two cathedrals, does that make it a double city?

Apparently, Westminster Abbey was a Cathedral until 1560.

Thank you for that information which made me look at its official history:

"History did not cease with the dissolution of the medieval monastery on 16 January 1540. The same year Henry VIII erected Westminster into a cathedral church with a bishop (Thomas Thirlby), a dean and twelve prebendaries. The bishopric was surrendered on 29 March 1550 and the diocese was re-united with London, Westminster being made by Act of Parliament a cathedral church in the diocese of London. Mary I restored the Benedictine monastery in 1556 under Abbot John Feckenham."
