Medieval History
Vandals have smashed a priceless mediaeval stained glass window at the Parish Church of St John the Baptist. Located in the mediaeval Spon Street area of Coventry City Centre, the church sits alongside numerous bars and restaurants.
Father Paul Such thinks this "may be a contributing factor" to suffering damage, saying: "It's probably a mixture of alcohol and rowdy-ism."
The latest damage is costing the cash-strapped church £5,000 to repair.
