Coventry Cathedral-Window

Coventry Cathedral-Baptistry

Coventry Cathedral-choir and organ




Here is the floor of the choir.  It is black marble and the steps are long and not even.  It is very easy to visually misjudge one's footing here, so tourists are not allowed and even clergy are not surefooted in their robes and carrying heavy things.

Coventry-old Cathedral


The old cathedral was bombed in WWII by the Nazis.  What you see has been resonstructed and next you will see the new cathedral that has been built right next to the old.



There was an Olympic soccer/football match in Coventry, but this group of people has nothing to do with that.  They are social workers who have evacuated their offices next door because of a fire drill.  You can see the roof that joins the two cathedrals.





This is the window of the new cathedral.
