Lichfield Cathedral
Latest Reviews
Hi, I had a Greek friend come to stay with me for a week and we did the usual tourist destinations; Birmingham Frankfurt market, Stratford on Avon etc. and his favourite place was Lichfield cathedral! - stunning architecture, you forget about the gems on your doorstep. (I live just outside of Lichfield).

I went with my family and we love it. The cathedral is gorgeous, splendid. There is so many things to visit and learn about de history. And the entrance is free.

Beautiful

Bellissimo edificio che già dall'esterno merita foto e visite. All'interno merita sicuramente sia per la Chiesa che per le cappelle annesse. Consigliato!

Excellent attraction in a beautiful city

Standing at the crossing, looking west to the nave and east to the high altar, gives a sense of majesty but also a feeling of being privileged in visiting a place that has been prayed in for centuries. It felt very big on the outside and strangely intimate inside. Glorious.

I visited this cathedral during my visit to Lichfeild way back in 2014. This was a wonderful experience. I was happy to see how they have maintained such an old Cathedral. They had volunteers inside to explain the history of the cathedral to people that visit. There was a marble stone inside which had inscribed names of those who died fighting during world war I. I was happy to see an Indian name on it because I'm from India. Its wonderful to know that the British remember those who fought for them. I was in Lichfeild for a very short time but every morning that I was there I could hear the bells ring from the Cathedral, the St. Marys Church (which is now a museum) which is nearby and then the St. Micheal Church. The sound of the bells in the morning when you pass by the stowe pool is magical. This Cathedral is beautiful, with its tinted glass windows, articles with historic significance. Its beautiful from both outside and inside. A nice place for prayer too. There is a small fleet of stairs that leads to a chapel.

A nice thing to do, whether the weather is good or bad. plenty to see . There was an exhibition of Turners and other paintings the day we went, what a treat.

Wow! What an amazing building, it literally took our breath away, then to be told it was free to enter but could donate if you wanted to, we gave generously and did our tour, very interesting facts and history to be absorbed while wondering through the different areas of the cathedral. I would recommend a visit it was awesome.

Nice to see no compulsary entrance fee but happily gave a donation. The cathedral is lovely and interesting but not on an epic scale. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Such a joy to be at the Ordinations on Sunday 2nd July - the levels of professionalism I haven't encountered in a Cathedral in quite some time. The music and liturgy was flawless - came away somewhat exhilarated by a stellar occasion. Well done to all who evidently worked so hard to ensure such a joyful event.

This building is truly wonderful. From the multitude of figures on the front facade to the historical flags and military memorabilia for local regiments. There are lots of surprises too. The Cathedral also has a shop opposite the front entrance. My visitors were very impressed.

We visited late afternoon and took the opportunity to attend Evensong, which was beautiful.
We have visited many Cathedrals it is a good way of seeing something of our country, and Lichfield is up there with the best of them plus very unusually there is no entrance charge, they exist on donations.

Loved it. I coincided with the Eucharistic Service & it was a great opportunity to simply stop & re-focus in a hectic week.

Sadly we didn't have as long as we had hoped for to take in this splendid Cathedral. The approach itself is amazing, with its three spires! The sand stone facade is very dark but I guess it might be very difficult to clean it.
It is free to enter this place of worship but donations towards its enormous upkeep are appreciated, especially if you gift aid.
The ceiling is hugely vaulted and intricate. Heavenly stain glass windows, tombs of famous people and saints. The floor in front of the alters is so beautiful. We would have loved to spent more time there. It is a pity that the Coffee Shop is down the road a little next to the two toilets. The gardens in the vicinity are well worth a look too.

All our medieval cathedrals are magnificent and Lichfield is no exception. Its setting in the classic cathedral close is particularly harmonious and the riot of statues on the west front is breathtaking. Staffordshire's historic industry has sadly blackened its glorious local red sandstone but its interior is very lovely. No visit to the city is complete without a visit.

well worth a visit if you are in Lichfield. On the day we went there was an Art Exhibition A painting had been donated to the Cathedral and once the Exhibition has finished it will be auctioned off with the proceedings going to the Cathedral. Even without the Art it is still worth the tour.

A place to go if you are in midlands. Stunning building and stained glass windows! Free but you should make a donation to the charity to keep this place open for tourists!
