What is recorded here

This black commemorative plaque records: Holy Trinity Church. Constructed during the 13th and 15th Centuries on the site of a Norman building as the parish church for the priors half of Coventry. The spire, height 237 feet (72 metres) was rebuilt in 1667 after the original was blown down. Extensive restoration and a new west front were completed in 1849 by R. C. Hussey. The interior was restored in 1855 by Gilbert Scott.
Sir George Gilbert Scott and Richard Charles Hussey were prominent Victorian architects who significantly contributed to the restoration of Holy Trinity Church, enhancing its architectural integrity and aesthetic appeal. Their work reflects the broader movement of Gothic Revival in architecture during the 19th century.
