Amazing cathedral free to walk around. Only ask for a donation well worth a visit

Today I finally did the tower and roof tour. It was amazing and the views from the tower are stunning. Got to see a lot of stuff you don't normally get to see too.<br>The tour guides George and Alan were very knowledgeable and I learnt a lot of new stuff about the cathedral and Lichfield in general.<br>Well worth the £18 as the tour was nearly 2 hours.<br>Made my day and now when I look up on future visits I can say "I've been up there" 😁

Beautiful!!!

Excellent lovely staff extremely helpful.

Absolutely stunning place.

Lovely Cathedral.Well worth a visit

Très jolie cathédrale. Malheureusement, les murs sont très sombres et mériteraient une rénovation mais bien entendu, c'est un budget!<br>Mais ça vaut le détour.

Lichfield Cathedral: When Three Spires is Just Being Greedy<br>​★★★★★ (Five Stars, but mainly for commitment to being very, very old)<br>​Lichfield Cathedral is, without a doubt, a masterpiece of mediaeval architecture and an utterly brazen display of over-achievement. While most cathedrals are content to offer a polite, single spire, Lichfield insists on giving you three—a triple-threat of holy Gothic dominance known locally, and rather sweetly, as "The Ladies of the Vale." It’s like arriving at a party and discovering the host is wearing three diamond necklaces.<br>​The first thing you’ll notice is the age. This place is so old, the stone remembers when central heating was just a flickering candle and a prayer. It’s an excellent place to feel immediately underdressed and slightly inadequate about your life choices. You, a mortal who struggles to remember where they left their keys, are standing beneath the silent judgement of 800 years of structural integrity.<br>​The Exhibits: Ghosts and Angels<br>​Inside, the light is glorious, streaming through stained glass that tells intricate biblical stories, often interrupted by a slightly abstract patch of Victorian restoration that looks like a 1980s computer graphic.<br>​The star attraction, however, remains the famous Lichfield Angel. Discovered buried under the floor, she is eternally enshrined and forever posing for her divine close-up. She serves as a poignant reminder that even in the 8th century, people were worried about their posture. She’s definitely worth the trip, though I’m still deducting half a star because the sheer historical weight made me spill my emergency coffee.<br>​The Practicalities of Piety<br>​For those worried about the lack of modern amenities, fear not. This ancient house of worship is perfectly balanced by the necessary presence of a well-stocked gift shop. Here you can buy a commemorative fridge magnet of a gargoyle staring existentially into the middle distance, ensuring your spiritual journey ends with an affordable transaction.<br>​The overall experience is one of sublime, breathtaking wonder, tempered only by the slight draft and the unavoidable thought: "How long did this take to dust?"<br>​Final Verdict: Go, be humbled, and then go straight to the nearby pub to warm up. They clearly spared no expense on spires, but heating budgets seem to have been tight since the 13th century.

Music events of an evening, church services of course but also a quiet place to just be.

It was a very interesting experience.

£10 entrance for two pensioners is too much

Iconic architecture.

I could feel the weight of history

Będąc w okolicy trzeba koniecznie tu przyjść. Monumentalna, przepiękna katedra. Charakterystyczne trzy wieże (najwyższa 77m), długość kościoła 113 m i 113 rzeźbionych postaci na fasadzie budynku. Wydaje mi się (nie mogłam znaleźć informacji) , że drzwi wejściowe mają ponad 8 metrów wysokości. Zachwyca projekt i wykonanie wszystkiego zarówno na zewnątrz jak i wewnątrz. Jest tutaj też wspaniały 13 metrowy "Stół dla Narodu". Wykonany niedawno ze znalezionego 5000 letniego dębu. Podobno będzie tutaj przez rok i jest używany jako stół z okazji różnego rodzaju spotkań w kościele.

Such a beautiful peaceful place of worship. I am not a Christian but felt so welcome by all patrons I came across. I was astounded by the amount of colonial history from the empire, from flags, priests, infantry.

Installed a stained glass panel in the south trancept back in 1992. It's still there!

A truly breathtaking cathedral. The Gothic architecture is stunning, with its three spires creating a unique silhouette against the sky. The stone carvings and intricate details on the façade are remarkable, each statue and ornament telling its own story. Inside, the stained glass windows glow with vibrant colors, filling the space with a quiet, almost sacred light. The vaulted ceilings and fine woodwork show an incredible level of craftsmanship. It’s not just a place of worship, but also a masterpiece of art and history,worth taking time to explore slowly.
