I went to the Cathedral during a visit to Lichfield, it is the only medieval English cathedral with three spires. It is well worth a visit as the architecture is impressive. Recommended.

Lichfield Cathedral is very picturesque and larger than would be imagined for a small city. Inside this grand place of worship, there is an amazing record of local history, brilliant stained glass windows from around Europe and a gallery of modern paintings by a local talented artist. Help is readily available from Cathedrall guides, and a if you wish to light a candle of prayer, you can.

Lichfield lacks the size of some of the grander cathedrals, but is elegantly proportioned with some beautiful masonry, and the recently restored Herkenrode glass at the east end, and one of my favourite cathedrals. I believe that it is unique in England in still having spires on all three of its towers. Set in a traditional cathedral close, there are still traces of some of the old defences of the close, which was besieged three times in the Civil War in the 1640s. Treasures normally on display include the St Chad Gospels (similar to the better-known Lindisfarne Gospels, but in more muted colours), a beautiful Anglo-Saxon carved angel excavated from under the cathedral floor a few years ago, and part of the Staffordshire hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold. Welcoming atmosphere, although some of the stewards can be a bit managing, and the quality of the information that they provide variable. No refreshments or toilets in the cathedral itself, but both can be found at the Chapters tea room run by the cathedral, just to the south of the cathedral itself. There is only disabled parking available in the close, although there are three public car parks within a few minutes walk, so allow for that when visiting.

The cathedral is a must see for anyone visiting Lichfield. Beautiful interior, well worth the visit and free.

This really is one of the main attractions of Lichfield. Stunner glass work on the windows. And the services preformed are nice to watch.

The Cathedral is well worth a visit. It has been the heart of the city for the last 800 plus years and stands in all it’s majesty as a testament to the Christian Faith.

I took a train from Birmingham in the AM in order to make the 11am free tour. The tour guide- an older woman- was very sweet but she dragged a bit in her explanations so I ended up wandering around by myself. The cathedral is quite large and whilst I have seen more impressive interiors, the external west front is just gorgeous with hundreds of statues. I was really disappointed the Chad Gospels weren’t around though as that is one of the cathedral’s star attractions. I feel it’s really dodgy of the cathedral to not post this missing attraction info on its website, especially if you travel a distance to come here like I did. That said, there are very good interactive displays of the Gospels so those sufficed for the time being. The 7th century AD angel statue is also lovely.

Lichfield Cathedral can be seen from a distance and its imposing three spires beckon you towards it.
The grand imposing entrance does make you gasp, but the interior will make you gasp more and it's free unlike many other British Cathedrals, but a donation is worthwhile.
What more can I say? the photos speak for themselves.

Stunning Building... A must see

Lichfield Cathedral is a stunning piece of architecture and dominated the skyline of the city. Inside the stained glass windows are beautiful and the tributes to local men who lost their lives in the was are extremely moving. The side chapels also offer an opportunity for quiet reflection.

Very welcoming team at the door. Free entry & tour - donations welcome. The only Medieval Cathedral with three spires in England. Made for a very interesting morning. Must return in the summer to see the windows bathed in sunlight.

Went to cathedral with my elderly service user for a visit as she has wanted to go for some time. Had an amazing visit. Staff very helpful and accommodating to all visitors. My service user and my self lit candles for loved ones. We looked all around both had a wonderful time there.

Although one of the smaller of the great cathedrals, this is a wonderful gem. Not to be missed. Even on a dull February afternoon, the light through the stained glass is uplifting and inspirational. The calm, peaceful atmosphere makes a great break from the bustle of the city it's on the edge of.
Free but a donation is a must.
