Bell tower of St Alban's Church, Mercer Avenue
This parish church of the Church of England stands at the corner of Mercer Avenue and North Street, overlooking Barras Heath, a green space in the district of Stoke Heath. The building was designed by H B Creswell and opened in 1929; see the Victoria County History of Warwickshire, Vol 8, pp 361-367
Link . The church has pointed Gothic arches but the style is very plain, at least on the outside, with little ornament. The Roman roof tiles and the campanile or bell tower with bell exposed evoke Italy in this corner of Coventry.
