The ruins of Coventry Cathedral, with the charred cross and Reconciliation Statue, are a reminder of the futility of war, but also of the possibility of reconciliation. The new Cathedral, designed by Basil Spence, is a statement of Resurrection and life. Inspired works by John Piper, Elizabeth Frink, Jacob Epstein and Graham Sutherland are all found here. The Visitor's Centre and continuous loop video tell the story. opening times vary.
