Summary

Pathe synopsis: A similar revolution - in design this time - is taking place in this country, notably in Coventry, where we visit just two of the ultra-modern churches built recently. The design, the materials and the workmanship are all right up-to-date, but there is no loss of dignity and the overall effect is in keeping with a place of worship. [Churches featured are Christ Church in Cheylesmore, Coventry, designed by Alfred Gardner, and St John the Divine in Willenhall, designed by Basil Spence.]
