Historical Coventry & Warwickshire

The cobbled streets and timber buildings of Coventry’s Cathedral Quarter offer an insight into the History of this famous city where the modern architecture of the new cathedral meets the ancient ruins of the old cathedral. The New Cathedral was recently voted Britain’s most popular 20th century building and is recognized as an International centre for Reconciliation. Although many of the old buildings were destroyed in the air raids of WWII there are traces of history to be found throughout the city.
