| The ruins of Saint Michael’s Cathedral became a symbol of German aggression. The Cathedral was never rebuilt; it remains in its ruined state as a memorial of the war. United Kingdom Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill (November 30, 1874 – January 24, 1965) visits the ruins of St. Michael’s, accompanied by the Pastor, Richard Thomas Howard (June 12, 1884 – November 1, 1981) and Coventry Mayor Alfred Robert Grandly (February 1, 1876 – April 14, 1965). | |
