Plan For New Coventry Cathedral, Exterior View -- The Cathedral will be almost entirely new. It is to be built North to South, with a central lantern Tower occupying the position of the Choir in the old Cathedral. Under this lantern tower will be the Central Altar. The five-sided Apse of the old Cathedral (seen on the right of the picture under the lantern tower) will be incorporated into the new Cathedral and will face towards the Altar. The lower building shown on the right is the Chapel of Unity attached to the Cathedral and to the Christian Service Centre (not shown). July 30, 1945. (Photo by LNA).
