Venture by enchanting company in English city (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coventry

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'english city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'venture by enchanting company' is the wordplay.
'venture' becomes 'try' (I've seen this in another clue).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'enchanting company' becomes 'coven' (I have seen 'Company of witches' mean 'coven' so perhaps 'company' could also mean 'coven'. I am not sure about the 'enchanting' bit.).
'try' put after 'coven' is 'COVENTRY'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for coventry that I've seen before include "City (for those banished from society?)" , "Where Lady Godiva rode" , "City devastated in World War II" , "English city" , "West Midlands city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
