Home Front Memorial, Coventry Cathedral

The Memorial, which is in the form of a Roundel, has been designed and installed in the floor of the ruins of the old Cathedral. It commemorates those who served in the Home Front during the Second World War and in the Post War Recovery.The Roundel is approximately 2 metres in diameter, the outer ring being in Brandy Craig slate and the inner of Blue Grey slate. The carving of the lettering was undertaken by John Paul. The railings are in hammered stainless steel and have been made by Julian Coode.

The Memorial was dedicated at a service held in the Cathedral by HM The Queen on the 3rd March 2000. The ceremony was attended by the Archbishop of Coventry, the Prime Minister and leaders of all the political parties.
