Great Mistakes: Coventry's Lost Medieval Cathedral
You think you know Coventry's old cathedral? Think again! There was one that dwarfed the one you've taken photos of, but no one seems to talk about it! BIBLIOGRAPHY: Most of the information is taken from the stellar volume Coventry: Medieval Art, Architecture and Archaeology in the City and its Vicinity, ed. Monckton and Morris, British Archaeological Association Conference Transactions, Vol. 33, 2011. https://thebaa.org/publication/covent... Most of it is available on Google Books if you're tenacious enough https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-... Particularly helpful were the essays by Richard Plant and the late Richard K. Morris on the cathedral church, Linda Monckton on St Michael (and a bit of Holy Trinity) and Coventry expert George Demidowicz on the priory site after the dissolution (this is where all of the plans come from). The designs for the modern cathedral which all shoot past very quickly can be seen properly in this article, and also in the author's expanded book-length study: Louise Campbell, Coventry Cathedral: Art and Architecture in Post-war by Britain, 1996. https://www.jstor.org/stable/1568577 Nearly all of my other specific information comes from the Pevsner Architectural Guides for Warwickshire, revised by Chris Pickford, 2016. Also of course, the Victoria County History for Warwickshire (can you believe the Wikipedia article for St John's Hospital claimed it was Knights Hospitaller? So if anything this project fixed that)
