Kneelers:
Coventry's Mid Century Modern Contribution to the English Folk Tradition
An Archive Corner Exhibition

This exhibition will take you from a Fabric warehouse in Manchester to the West End cast of My Fair Lady, and try to answer the age old question: what exactly is a Kneeler and why does Coventry's contribution to this quirky English folk tradition matter?

The exhibition will also be the launch of 'Archive Corner,' a new rotating museum space designed to connect you with some of our Cathedral's treasures.
