Found in central England, Coventry is a city with plenty of history. As you explore Coventry, you'll encounter the echoes of centuries past. The city is home to two esteemed universities, Warwick and Coventry, so has a large student population and boasts not one, but three cathedrals, each with its own tale to tell. The ruins of St. Mary's bear witness to historical upheavals, with its destruction by Henry VIII. St. Michael's, scarred by the blitz in November 1940, stands as a poignant reminder of the city's resilience in the face of adversity. And, a more recent addition to Coventry's skyline is Sir Basil Spence's new cathedral, a masterpiece that was consecrated in 1962. This cathedral’s architectural grandeur has earned the distinction of being voted Britain's most popular 20th-century building.
