St Osburg's Church, Gothic Revival Catholic church in central Coventry, England.
St Osburg's Church is a Gothic Revival church building in central Coventry, located at a major road junction near the city ring road and distinguished by its traditional stained glass windows. The structure displays typical features of 19th-century Gothic Revival design with pointed arches and vaulted ceilings.
The church was built in 1845 by architect Charles Hansom and suffered severe damage during the 1940 bombing raids on Coventry. Reconstruction work continued through the 1950s to restore the building to usable condition.
The Benedictine monks from Downside Abbey managed the church from its inception until 1992, when the Archdiocese of Birmingham assumed responsibility.
The church is accessible from the main road intersection and easy to locate in the city center. Visitors are welcome to enter and look around when services are not taking place.
A significant church ceremony took place here in 1846 when a prominent churchman was appointed to an important ecclesiastical position. The event attracted several notable religious figures and remains documented in local records.
