Car Rental in Melton Mowbray

The city's main religious monument is Coventry Cathedral (Cathedral Church of St. Michael) whose was built in 1962 after an original religious monument was destroyed during World War II. Only the tower, a spire, the outer wall, and the first bishop's tomb have survived the bombing. Holy Trinity Church standing next to the above-mentioned cathedral is interesting from an architectural point of view. Despite being close to it, the building was not damaged during the bombing of World War II. Due to this, this church is the only medieval religious monument in town. The Gothic-style church was built in the 12-th century. In 1668, it was decided to restore the church, and in 1768 its eastern part was rebuilt - these are the changes the church has undergone.

Coventry's “hidden gem” is Lychgate Cottages - residential buildings typical of medieval Britain. This is another place that did not suffer much during World War II, despite standing close to Coventry Cathedral. Just like St Mary's Guildhall named after Marie Stuart who was hiding here during the persecution by Queen Elizabeth I. The building itself was constructed in 1342, after which it has repeatedly expanded and changed its appearance. The museum's priceless treasures are a collection of royal portraits of the 17th-19th centuries, as well as weapons and armor. As for interior decoration, of great interest are stained glass windows and tapestries whose age is about 600 years.
