In the [[United Kingdom]] traditionally a city was a town possessing a [[cathedral]], all other large settlements being merely towns. This is, however, no longer the case; city status is conveyed by royal charter. Some towns have cathedrals but are not cities (e.g. [[Chelmsford]], [[Guildford]]); others are cities but have no cathedral (e.g. [[Derby]], [[Sunderland]], [[Newport]]).
