St Nicholas' Church, Radford, Coventry

St Nicholas' Church is an Anglican parish church in Radford, Coventry, built with a reinforced concrete frame and yellow brick exterior walls. Inside, it features a natural beechwood ceiling and can seat around 430 people with clear views toward the altar.

The original church building from 1874 was destroyed during the Coventry bombing raids of 1940. The current structure was rebuilt on the same site in 1957.

The parish uses this place for regular worship and community gatherings, keeping Anglican traditions alive in the Radford neighborhood. It serves as a social meeting point for local residents.

The interior is easily accessible with plenty of seating and unobstructed sightlines from all pews. The church includes a Lady Chapel and a baptistery for visitors to explore.

A tall bell tower on the side of the building holds two bells and displays a stone carving of St Nicholas at its base. This carved relief is one of the few remaining artistic details from the post-war reconstruction period.
