https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_status_in_the_United_Kingdom
in England and Wales [city status] was traditionally given to towns with diocesan cathedrals. This association between having a cathedral and being called a city was established in the early 1540s when King Henry VIII founded dioceses (each having a cathedral in the see city) in six English towns and also granted them city status by issuing letters patent.
Standards appear have slackened somewhat since; Bath, Salford and Stoke-on-Trent are apparently cities now.
