Coventry Blitz: Scenes from the attack
The news of the devastation - in particular the destruction of Coventry's medieval cathedral - was widely reported and became a propaganda tool.

Coventry Cathedral History
Coventry Cathedral is one of the most powerful symbols of peace and resilience in the UK. The original cathedral was destroyed during the Blitz in 1940, and instead of rebuilding the ruins, the city chose to keep them as a reminder of hope. Right beside it stands the stunning modern cathedral, opened in 1962, celebrating reconciliation and new beginnings. A place where history, art, and faith come together beautifully. | Jannatul Forain Nishu

Tomorrow marks 85 years since St. Michael’s Cathedral was bombed during the Coventry Blitz. Here are some of the final images of what the inside of the Cathedral looked before being destroyed. The shell of the Cathedral remains as the Ruins standing side by side the New Cathedral that opened in 1962 to remind us of our human capacity both to destroy and reach out to our enemies in reconciliation. Tomorrow we honour the lives lost tragically on 14th November 1940 while reaffirming our city’s mess

The day after Coventry Cathedral was bombed on 14th November 1940, Provost Howard made a commitment not to seek revenge but to strive for forgiveness and ultimately reconciliation with those responsible, at the time seen to be very radical thinking as we were still at war with Germany. In this BBC Radio clip 6 weeks after the Blitz, Provost Howard gave a message on Christmas Day on building a kinder, more Christ-like world, a message that that Cathedral holds close to this day. 🎧 BBC recording,

We’re hosting a conference on “Reconciliation in a Time of Conflict” from 10am-3.30pm on Saturday 18th October at Coventry Cathedral. Drawing upon experiences from the Holy Land and Ukraine, what does the Christian ministry of reconciliation look like in a time of conflict? What are the challenges faced by those in the context of war, and what might we learn about being reconcilers in a society increasingly characterised by cultural division and conflict? This event is being held in the John Lai

🌰 Oak trees for peace 🌰 Did you know that in 1968 John Lennon and Yoko Ono planted two acorns in the Cathedral grounds? This was John & Yoko's first outing as a couple and the acorns symbolised the union of their two cultures. Unfortunately, the acorns were stolen shortly after being planted but Yoko returned in 2005 to open the city's peace festival and planted two Japanese oak trees which are residing in St Michael's Avenue. Watch the video with our archivist Martin Williams to learn more 📽
