Picture of Coventry Cathedral.
The new cathedral was designed by Basil Spence, and HM The Queen laid the foundation stone on 23 March 1956.
In keeping with tradition, the cathedral was filled with art from the leading artists of the time. Graham Sutherlands tapestry of Christ in Glory in the Tetramorph dominates the East End of the cathedral, whilst John Huttons screen of Saints and Angels allows the spirit of the Ruins to pervade the new cathedral.
Coloured light streams through John Pipers Baptistry window and Epsteins St Michael and the Devil guards the cathedral steps.
