An interesting guided group tour took members through the history of Coventry’s Cathedrals and the necessity of building the present Cathedral alongside the war-torn ruins of the previous one.

​We walked around the Cathedral stopping frequently to view the design features made by a variety of artists.  The guide continued to provide us with excellent descriptions and explanations of the features, which included Graham Sutherland’s huge tapestry of Christ and the Great West Window which was engraved with Saints and Angels.

Unfortunately, we chose a very overcast day and the amazing colours that can fill the Cathedral with light from the Baptistry window were missing.  Nevertheless the stained glass was a joy to behold.
