The ruins of St Michael's Cathedral, Coventry

St Michael's was one of the largest medieval parish churches in England. It became a cathedral in 1918 and was severely damaged during a bombing raid in November 1940. Rather than rebuild the cathedral, a new cathedral was built on an adjacent site. Its foundation stone was laid on 23 March 1956 and was consecrated on 25 May 1962. The ruins remain consecrated ground.
