The Coventry Machinists Co. was the first British company that started manufacturing bicycles. They started in 1879 with boneshakers in the Michaux style, mostly sold under the name of Turner.
In the 1870's and 1880's they were market leader in England, with a not so wide range of quality bicycles.
CMC's always have some characteristic details that make them quite easy to recognise.
