Coventry Cathedral Virtual Tour and the Story of the Community of the Cross of Nails

Coventry Cathedral is a testament to resilience and renewal. As you journey from the ruins of the old cathedral to the breathtaking new structure, you experience a powerful symbol of hope--a phoenix rising from the ashes. This virtual tour, and additional resources, invites you to explore its history, architecture, and enduring message of reconciliation.
