The long haul.

---

Today was another big driving day with very little action in between. We called into Coventry on our way to Durham to see the tapestry of 'Christ in Glory' that hang in the Cathedral. The present Cathedral was built in the 1950s, after the original Cathedral was destroyed by incendary bombs during WWII. The new Cathedral still has a modern look and feel, given the date that it was built. We then drove on to Spondon, in Derbyshire, so that I (Terry) could visit where my grandparents lived before they came to Australia in 1914. Then we made our way (almost 3 hours of motorway driving) to Durham. We decided to leave visiting the Norman Cathedral and Castle until tomorrow to make sure that we can give them the thorough exploration they deserve.

Coventry Cathedral.
The old meets the new and stands as testimony to what took place.

Christ in Glory.
The ginormous tapestry that we came to see. It's roughly the size of a tennis court.

The amazing Baptistry window, showing the light breaking through the darkness.

Lady Godiva.
She rode starkers on a horse in protest against high taxation, immortalised forever.
