St John the Baptist's, Coventry

This church was subject to two restorations by Sir George Gilbert Scott, the first, the exterior, transepts and tower, in 1858-61 at a cost of £2,000. He renewed much of the exterior red sandstone which had become weathered and added turrets to the corners of the tower. Scott's second restoration of this church, in 1875-7, comprised the nave and interior at a cost of £6,000.
