| Description: |
Featuring a combination of previously unpublished historical material and specially commissioned new photography, acknowledged experts in the field focus on the original cathedral of St Michael's, Coventry and the rise of the new one after the Second World War. |
| Synopsis: |
The old cathedral of St Michael became known throughout the world, ironically, as a result of its devastation in a World War Two air raid, in November 1940, and its subsequent resurrection as an intrinsic part of the inspiration for new Coventry Cathedral and a symbol of peace and reconciliation. Previously one of the largest parish churches in the country, elevated to cathedral status as late as 1918, it was a superb example of the fifteenth-century Gothic architectural style, with its magnificent tower and spire, and notable collection of medieval stained glass. This celebratory and richly illustrated volume is based on a conservation plan commissioned by the World Monuments Fund Britain, tracing the long history of the church and offering an architectural and artistic appreciation of what was constructed and what remains. The Introduction is by Dr Jonathan Foyle, Chief Executive of World Monuments Fund Britain. |
