My wife and I learned a lot about the history about the cathedral and shown things we would have missed without him.

Set in this beautiful small cathedral town. Great architecture inside and outside. Tranquil when we visited. Very friendly and helpful staff.

I'm not really all that in to cathedrals, but this one is gorgeous inside. I cannot comprehend the construction of such a massive structure centuries ago without the benefit of machinery. The soaring ceiling is breathtaking, and there are many nooks and crannies to explore.

This was a lovely cathedral, the statues on the outside walls, you could spend hours just looking at them. The inside was great and so impressive, excellent stained glasses and an excellent place to visit

My wife and I visited and were delighted to join in a, free, tour. Unfortunately we could only stay for about half of it. John the guide was excellent, unpretentious, and super informative. I was particularly pleased at how he prioritized the tour for our limited time.

Well worth a visit Easy to get to and walk around. Lovely pool and park nearby Although Lichfield is a city the centre is quite small. Some nice shops and cafes.

Went in the cathedral twice to fully appreciate it. It is certainly one of the most impressive in the country. There are three or four large interactive displays which tell you about St Chad, pilgrimages, the windows, the chapels etc. etc. Really worth reading to understand more of the building and its history.
We were even shown a page on the WW1 Book of Remembrance relevant to our area when we asked the verger.
Not to be missed.

This is a stunning building with lots to look at. The staff are amazing- friendly and positive and welcoming. They were running a children's "messy church" in the central area with paints etc. How utterly fantastic is that? Great to see an ancient building with a modern attitude. Gorgeous.

A cathedral with medieval roots and stunning architecture. A tranquil place with much history and many stories to tell. Take a guided tour and allow plenty of time to read a few of the inscriptions. This would be of interest for the history of the Staffordshire Regiment as well as a religious monument.

Due to the water burst into Ironbridge we went to Lichfield cathedral it was a breathe taking to see the amount of detail as you walk around cathedral

Although much older, this cathedral has been very much restored by the Victorians. A pleasant setting and the 3 spires tower over the town. Although there was a guide around they did not advertise they were there which was a shame. The cathedral suffered a lot during the Civil War and somehow I found it a bit sad inside - it seemed to lack warmth. Worth stopping to see if you are passing through Lichfield but I would not make a special journey to see it.

Excellent Art installation of 1800 trees and light shows. The Cathedral has many different tours all year round. Many are in the summer with the Lichfield Festival. However things happening most weeks year round.

Living in lichfield the cathedral is a wonderful place for quiet reflection and contemplation. There are places to sit and gather your thoughts in a safe and welcoming environment.
I always try and support the events put on at the Catherdral, most recently the Peace exhibition. Very different from previous events, so moving and thoughtful at times it brought tears to my eyes. It gave time to think and remember those we love.
A wonderful place that everyone should make time to embrace and enjoy not only from a religious perspective as it offers so much more.

We had lunch in Litchfield and we were told to visit the 3 spire cathedral! We thought about it! But then just decided to have a wonder. The structure was beautiful, the faces on the statues were in tact and beautifully crafted. Inside was well kept with a full organ playing!
Would definitely recommend a look if you are in and around Litchfield, if only to see the artwork on the building, it is worth a visit! It is lovely to see a building full of history being well kept.

Beautiful church and helpful guide.
Ongoing repair work meant lots of scaffolding in places, plus noise which played havoc with my hearing aids.
The large computer screens scattered around where very informative.

I made a donation at the reception desk as I entered. Unfortunately, there was a church event taking place and a good deal of the building was roped off to the public. There was a nice atmosphere inside and I enjoyed looking around. The statues on the front wall of the Cathedral are the most striking thing. There is a nearby tearoom and toilets just over The Close on the right hand side.

This is a truly magnificent building on a site dating back to 700AD. The Norman Cathedral building as it stands dates back to 1330, with fantastic stone carvings on all the exterior walls. It's free to enter (although they ask for a donation) and is well worth a visit. it needs to be thoroughly cleaned and brought back to its former glories. The exterior particularly is very black and dirty - one of our national treasures that needs preserving and protecting.
