The church isn't level inside! It's well worth popping in. The VE Day memorial is very well done and worth a closer look.

This church was one of the few buildings of stature that escaped destruction during the bombing raids of the second world war. It was not simply a lucky escape, however.... the vicar, Canon Graham Clitheroe, and a team of dedicated fire-fighters bravely averted the danger from the falling incendiaries during the heaviest raid on November 14th 1940.

beautiful place to ride by, especially at sunrise or sunset. the greyhound pub is on the junction for a half time stop as well. can either head to Bedworth/nuneaton, back into Coventry Central or round to Longford.

What a memorable place to remind us all onthe value of peace. And well done integration of the new church next to the remainders of the cathedral. On the downside: the amusement park like atmosphere in the cathedral ruins with e.g. an ice cream truck does not really honor the memory in my view.

This church in Coventry was not dedicated to one of the many people we venerate as saints, but rather the ONE God in THREE persons - God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God's Holy Spirit - was chosen as its patron saint. Father Reinhard Körner writes about the mystery of the Holy Trinity: "Among the great prayer-givers in the history of Christianity... I found prayer texts in which each of the divine three was explicitly addressed - in the same prayer. When I tried to repeat the texts, I could sense that these people had not only had God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in mind individually - they were addressing a divine community. And it seemed to me that they could only do this in their written prayers because they did so otherwise, quietly in their hearts."

This former church in Coventry was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The name (from the Hebrew language) means "Who is like God?" He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, occasionally with a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, and occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human belief) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is September 29th.

The church dates from the 12th century and is the only Medieval church in Coventry that is still complete. It is 59 metres (194 ft) long and has a spire 72 metres (236 ft) high, one of the tallest non-cathedral spires in the UK. The church was restored in 1665–1668, and the tower was recased in 1826 by Thomas Rickman. The east end was rebuilt in 1786 and the west front by Richard Charles Hussey in 1843. The inside of the church was restored by George Gilbert Scott in 1854. WIKIPEDIA
