Coventry Cathedral

The original Cathedral of St Michael was built between the late 14th and early 15th centuries and was the largest parish church in England. It was elevated to cathedral in 1918. Due to the high number of munitions factories in the area, Coventry was particularly targeted during the Blitz and lost many of its historic buildings, including the central library and market hall. In November 1940, Coventry Cathedral was left in ruins after bombing.
