I've been attempting to find an answer to your question. I made contact with the Coventry cathedral archivist and she replied with the following:<br /><br /><br />I feel certain the “prayer panels” you are enquiring about are in fact the Hallowing Places, which refer back to the mediaeval guild chapels. They were not recovered from the old Cathedral after it was bombed during the war, but were designed in 1949 by Provost Howard who was head of the Cathedral at that time. The eight original wooden plaques were removed from the ruins and are now to be found on the wall of the Deanery.<br /><br />Engraved slate tablets have since been installed in the ruins at the sites of each of the guild chapels and these are known as Hallowing Places.<br /><br />The idea has been re-established in the design of the new Cathedral where the Tablets of the Word, designed and carved by Ralph Beyer, are placed on the nave walls around the Cathedral. The text on each tablet was chosen by Bishop Neville Gorton who suggested that each tablet should be correspond to life at that time – work, home, education etc.<br /><br />I hope this information is of help to you.<br /><br /> With kind regards<br /><br />Dianne Morrisstevebishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01485378930192829175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10641870.post-22091566897263721062023-05-30T16:55:17.581+01:002023-05-30T16:55:17.581+01:00Thank you for your post.
