About Coventry Cathedral
The original 14th-century St Michael's Cathedral was destroyed in the Coventry Blitz of November 1940. The new cathedral, designed by Sir Basil Spence and consecrated in 1962, stands directly alongside the preserved ruin and is celebrated as one of the great works of post-war British architecture. It houses the famous Cross of Nails, a symbol of forgiveness used by Coventry's worldwide Community of the Cross of Nails ministry of reconciliation.

What is worship in this tradition usually like?
Anglican (Church of England) worship follows the rhythm of the Book of Common Prayer and Common Worship. Sunday services often range from a said early-morning Holy Communion to a main mid-morning Sung Eucharist or Morning Prayer, and many parishes hold Choral Evensong later in the day. Services blend set liturgy, hymns, Scripture readings and a sermon. Everyone is welcome, whether you are exploring faith or returning to church.
