William Overington Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 Actually, that is two Coventry Cathedrals, plural. Though it appears that there were three Coventry Cathedrals, though not all at the same time. At the left is the Old Cathedral, that was severely damaged in World War 2, in what is known as the Coventry Blitz. The Old Cathedral has no roof as a result of the bomb damage. At the right is the New Cathedral, that was built after the war. The Old Cathedral was designated as a cathedral in 1918, it was already an old building but had been a parish church for centuries. I saw on television some time ago about remains of the original Coventry Cathedral that had been found, a few hundred yards behind the New Cathedral. Services are sometimes held in the Old Cathedral. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coventry_Cathedral William AdamStanislav and Archangel 2 Quote Until December 2022, using a Lenovo laptop running Windows 10 in England.

Well, that explains the difference in the architecture we see in the photo. Archangel 1 Quote
