1966 - Impressed by the New Cathedral

ere's another postcard from Ben to another of his relatives in Windsor. Once again, he picked out the New Coventry Cathedral for special praise, and as you can see from the text, he's very impressed with it....

Nice to know that our poor weather didn't stop them going out. Reassuring to know that some things never change!

Sir Basil Spence would have been very relieved to hear such positive reviews about his creation! Many people were quite scathing at the time the New Cathedral was built, and Mr. Spence must have been extremely hurt by such unfair criticism after he'd put so much thought and effort into Coventry's flagship building.
