Opened March 1958 by HRH (Marina) Duchess of Kent. A very grand building seating 911, every seat having full view of the stage. It has many fine plays and musical shows. One interesting item is the wood used in the construction which was a gift from the people of Belgrade, Yugoslavia. (https://www.historiccoventry.co.uk/articles/content.php?pg=bill-birch-theatres)

Visitors delight in the stained glass, carvings, altarpieces, green men and grotesques that fill this jewel in Coventry’s mediaeval crown. Tucked away on the last window on the church's South Side is the awesome War Memorial containing those men of the parish who died in WW1. The solemn gothic style which depicts the Patron Saints of Great Britain and Ireland is countered by the starkness of the narrative, "Pray for the souls of those who gave their lives for their country 1914 - 1918. Ninety eight men of the parish are listed, the majority of them serving with the Royal Warks Rgt, between the Naval insignia (the Senior Service) and the Army. The positioning of the saints, St George, St Patrick, St David and St Andrew, was due, in no small way, to the fact that the senior officer of the Royal Warks was Irish! Completed in 1922, ironically it survived the two Blitzs of WW2, but suffered damage in a fire in 1945! (https://www.achurchnearyou.com/church/12935/page/53291/view/)

Saint JOHN BAPTIST, to whom this church in Coventry is dedicated, is a person on the threshold of the Old and New Testaments (just like the Holy Family with Mary and Joseph). His parents are Zacharias and Elizabeth. After the announcement of the Incarnation of God through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, namely John the Baptist. He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends upon him from heaven. The feast day of Saint John Baptist in the calendar of saints is June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.

Its different and makes think why and what for.

Peaceful & Tidy, enjoyed it

Coventry’s War Memorial Park opened in July 1921 as a tribute to the 2,587 Coventrians who died during the First World War. Coventry City Council used money donated by the public to purchase the land from the Lords of Styvechale Manor, the Gregory-Hood family. At the time it was a large grassed area that was part of Styvechale (Stivichall) Common. The landscaped gardens and sports areas were created in the late-1920s and 1930s. During the Second World War, barrage balloons and anti-aircraft guns were sited in the park and the large concrete blocks where they were positioned still exist.
