Lichfield Cathedral
Latest Reviews
Never been to Lichfield but wanted to see the town and the famous medieval cathedral - only 3 spire one in the country. Partner and I spent a good 1 and a half hours wandering around looking at the architecture and admiring the craftsmanship.
Chapter House had small selection of items from the incredible Staffordshire Hoard which added to the thrill - sadly we were not able to make the library tour which is only on certain days. Next time! Knowledgeable and friendly volunteers gave us lots of information.

A beautiful cathedral in a beautiful city. Free entrance, guided tours are possible, the booklet given on entry gives indepth details about the history of the place. Great little gift shop opposite too and also the Chapter House tearooms which serves tasty well-priced snack and meals.

We enjoyed a fascinating time walking round this lovely ancient building. Highlights were the 19th century flemish windows in the Lady Chapel, bought to replace those damaged in the civil war. We also had the opportunity to attend Choral Evensong.

Worth a visit whether you are religious or not. Listened to a school choir practice and was brilliantly captivating.

Picked this place as a stop off on the way home from a short break on a Friday. Had never been here before. Had just three hours to spare and enjoyed every minute. What a lovely, interesting place. Cathedral is early English with three whopping great spires, so easy to see and guide your way into the centre of this charming old town. Nice big car park between cathedral and market place. Free entry to the cathedral but make a donation to support this lovely building and buy the £5 guide book - well worth it. Uncluttered inside due to Victorian restoration, it enables you to appreciate the fine architecture and stained glass. The main front is a glorious mass of statues of saints and monarchs. Spent two happy hours there and afterwards enjoyed lunch of savoury Staffordshire oatcakes (very nice) in the Georgian cathedral tearooms nearby. A quick browse around the antique shops in the streets linking cathedral and market place and a look at the stsues of Dr Johnson and Boswell on the market place and we had to leave. We shall certainly come back for more.

I have visited Lichfield and the Cathedral there many times over the years. The inside of the Cathedral is beautiful and is well worth a stroll around.
Walking round the two nearby pools - Minster and Stowe - give stunning views of the three spires.
Lovely place for contemplation.

fantastic building from the outside, really nice inside with some great history, bit disapointed in the stain glass windows but we have been spoiled with ones in France, it was well worth the effort to visit and was easily to find and access.

Called in today, started with coffee and cake in the cafe...then looked round the beautiful building.....stayed to have communion at the lunchtime service....the minister taking the service (didn't get his name) was lovely...friendly, and able to deliver a good short message..... Returned to the cafe for lunch which we enjoyed in the lovely garden. A visit to the shop to buy some good quality products (not "tourist" rubbish).. all in all a lovely way to spend a few hours.

Absolutely gorgeous impressive cathedral in stunning position. The only Medieval English cathedral with 3 spires. Amazing stained glass and art. Felt privileged to see the Lichfield Angel in the beautiful Chapter House which also houses the precious illuminated St Chads gospel which we were told was the second oldest one in England after Lindisfarne. We visited this fabulous Cathedral twice during the weekend we visited Lichfield. Well worth visiting. A beautiful building.

The staff at the Cathedral were wonderful. Informative and keen to share their knowledge. I was not aware of the historical side of the place before visiting there.

Apparently the only Cathedral in England with three spires (towers). Beautiful and unusual Cathedral. Very helpful and knowledgeable guides. Wonderful stained glass windows.

We have visited Lichfield Cathedral on 3 occasions. It is a truly memorable experience and you are made to feel so welcome by those who work there. It is also one of the few Cathedrals that do not charge an entrance fee. There is so much to see there of historical importance ; the Anglo Saxon hoard , the amazing stained glass windows, the shrine of St Chad, the beautiful Lady Chapel and early eight century manuscripts. We felt very privileged to be there.

This is a brilliant place to go. Look out for the tomb of the bishop( near the font) who is just a skeleton. The anglo saxon jewellery is amazing. The widows tell stories and my children were fascinated

We called in on spec while passing through and found the quality of display and interpretation of items of great antiquity to be way beyond anywhere else we have visited. From the welcome at the door and throughout our visit the team were quietly attentive and answered questions skilfully.
