Coventry Cathedral gets share of $1m from American Express
Since its inclusion on the 2012 Watch List, the Ruins of St Michael’s Coventry has been a major focus of WMFB activity. A £2m fundraising campaign was launched late in 2011 to save them for future generations.
The urgency of the appeal has led American Express, longstanding supporter of the Watch List, to offer Coventry a share of a $1m donation. A proportion of Coventry's grant will ensure that the urgent conservation of the nationally important medieval glass rescued from St Michael’s can begin this summer.
Coventry is one of six global sites receiving a share of the American Express award.
