@JeniParsons

In the early months of 1965 I was in the choir of St Martin's in the Bull Ring in Birmingham.

We did a singing visit to Coventry Cathedral ... it seemed good sport to try to kick the pennies embedded in the floor that marked the processional turning points.

A penny wasn't worth much, even in 1965 :((

@RobertJackson58585858 great story! I’ve been staying with the current Dean - times probably haven’t changed much in that area 😂

😊

When I revisited a couple of years ago I saw the pennies either very badly worn or in places had been turned over. Many generations of choristers, and perhaps the Dean, notwithstanding 🤭
