Description
The destruction of Coventry Cathedral in 1940 was a devastating event that left the city and its people reeling. On the night of November 14, 1940, Reverend Richard Howard and three other firefighters risked their lives to save the cathedral from the incendiary bombs that had been landing on it. In the aftermath of the destruction, Howard found solace in his faith, writing "As I went into the ruined Cathedral on the morning after the destruction, there flashed into my mind the deep certainty that as the Cathedral had been crucified with Christ, so it would rise again with Him." This moving account follows Howard's journey as he worked to rebuild the cathedral, including the planning and design of its new structure. Today, Coventry Cathedral stands as a testament to the power of forgiveness and reconciliation. This book provides a detailed and inspiring look at the cathedral's history, from its destruction to its rebirth, and is an important document for anyone interested in the city's history or the story of its people.
