Visited the cathedral many many times and never tire of it.
It is amazing what was achieved all those years ago without all the technology and tools builders use today !
We couldn’t visit all of the cathedral as a Sunday service was on but I enjoyed what I could see.
If you have not visited before and like amazing architecture then it is a must !

This is the main cathedral in Lichfield, a town 49 minutes away from Birmingham.
Constructed between the 13-15 century, this is the only gothic church in the world with 3 spires.
Magnificent from the outside, reminiscent with all its statutes to the Notre Dame de Paris, strangely enough, I think it competes with it.
The interior is equally impressive, the design, finishing, and amount of details.
Totally worth a visit, highly recommended!

Lichfield is our favourite city and we regularly visit. The cathedral is I believe the only medieval cathedral with three spires. It has plenty to see from the outside but the interior is a must also. At certain times you may find an exhibition being held here and there are many activities going on throughout the year.

Although Lichfield may not be on every tourists list, the Cathedral is impressive for it's great size, it's three spires and for the magnificent stone carvings to the exterior.
It is visible from a great distance but the size is not apparent until you get close to the building. The beauty continues inside where the high vaulted ceiling is quite stunning when viewed from either end of the Cathedral.
This is of course a place of worship, and the skill and artistry of those who built it shows the dedication and passion they must have had.
Definitely one to put on the list

A truly beautiful building, currently with interesting exhibit on WW1. However when we visited, a sort of classroom had been set up in the nave with some kind of educational activity going on. This very much impaired the ambience of this place. Surely there are more appropriate locations. What if I'd come to pray and be reverent?

Always maintained to the high standard s of the Lichfield dioscese. Both interiot and exterior visuals are worth a tour alongside the beautiful ground's and lakes.

It's nice. Impressively big. Kind of what you expect from a cathedral. If you like cathedrals you'll probably like this one.

Our first visit to the cathedral despite living in Staffordshire for 40+ year. Stunning! In addition to the incredible architecture, the staff were welcoming and informative.

We joined a tour led by Dave and learnt lots of interesting facts some of which we probably would have missed. For instance on the front outside there are lots of carved figures - we would never have spotted Queen Victoria without her being point out nor would we be aware that it had been carved by one of her daughters, Princess Louise. Inside there are a number of Kempe windows and we now know what to look for to help identify a Kempe window. So much information. If you enjoy history then would strongly advise taking a guided tour of this Cathedral.

Steve and I come here about monthly for evensong on a Friday evening. It is a wonderful way to end the working week. My own faith is shaky but evensong at Lichfield never fails to touch me on a spiritual level. The cathedral choir never fails to impress. The choice of music, delivery and discipline is an absolute joy to listen to and to watch. Withdraw from the hustle and bustle outside for 45 minutes. Say prayers for those in need. Listen to ethereal voices and light a candle to remember those we no longer see. Afterwards a nice romantic meal for two at one of the many excellent Lichfield restaurants or pubs is a perfect end to our week. X

Visited this church in May. It has gorgeous stain glass windows. Displays inside. Art exhibits and information about the wars. It is free and they ask you to give a donation. Such a beautiful church , well worth a visit.

This was my first visit to Litchfield and the Cathedral is well worth a visit. We began by
having lunch at the Cathedral Cafe, the food was great and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We then moved on to the Cathedral which even from the the outside it was a splendor to behold with its 3 spiers, and wonderful architecture. The inside was even more amazing and lots to see and do, we even got to hear the choir practice which was amazing and I can't wait to go again and discover more. Even though it is a a very old Cathedral with lots of ancient artifacts, it is also a a very up to date way of presenting the Christian faith, and you felt encompassed and drawn into that faith as you moved around the building which made you feel that God was very much alive in that wonderful place. I hope to visit again soon.
