Coventry Cathedral

My first thought for 'Use a Building as a Screen' was to look at Coventry Cathedral.  This is an incredible building, with so much history behind it.  It was designed by Sir Basil Spence and filled with art from leading artists at the time including; Graham Sutherland, John Piper, John Hutton, Sir Jacob Epstein, Elizabeth Frink and Ralph Beyer.

John Piper designed the captivating stain glass baptistry window.



The entrance to the building is through the Screen of Saints and Angels - 70ft x 45ft screen of glass etchings designed by John Hutton.
