Lichfield Cathedral
Latest Reviews
My first visit here was when I was about 6 years old and I remember it making an impression on me then as it still did today. On that first visit I bought a plaster plaque from the gift shop and still have it hanging in my kitchen. The inside is beautiful but a walk around the exterior is just as rewarding and the close has some beautiful old buildings toboot

It is like walking into history. The cathedral is beautifully appointed and cared for. surrounded by the close it is both a venue for those who love history and those searching for a spiritual connection.

Loved the chapter house with St Chad's 8th century gospel, the 8th c Litchfield angel, and items from the Staffordshire hoard. The main organ was being tuned while we were there - noisy!

The cathedral is very impressive to look at with some marvellous engineering features and works of art.

The cathedral is in a wonderful setting on its hill above Lichfield and a good set of buildings around it. The West Front is an incredible Victorian re-imagining of what a Gothick Cathedral should be. The detail is great, with a plethora of Kings, Saints and Church Fathers. The proportions don't work for me though. The central gable is pinched between the rather squat towers. Inside, the length of the nave and chancel are really impressive.
There are a few medieval fragments dotted around, the Chapter House in particular, but what caught my eyes was the wealth of Victorian details which overlay everything with rich, detailed ornamentation. The Pulpit, Altar Rails and Reredos are all masterpieces in their own right.
If you like Victorian bling, you'll love Lichfield.
Nice City too - well worth a visit.

The architecture, the long history, the nearby pools, the music, the staff -- all made for a wonderful atmosphere. I didn't want to leave.

The peace when we visited on the Saturday and the a wonderful Sung Eucgarist on the Sunday. There was a visiting Choir from the USA, also staying at the George Hotel which rounded off the whole visit as my wife is a choir leader.

A classic English architectural gem, hidden in a charming town. This cathedral is a beautifully preserved and represents a fine example of English Christian architecture and is still a vibrant working church. Well worth a visit.

This is a large cathedral for the smallest city in England, and the interior is stunning. All the typical attributes are there but there is a fine sense of flow, with wonderful long views and a beautiful ceiling.
The car park is nearby and is a flat walk through pleasant parks with river views. A stroll into the old town - close by - is worth it as there are many pretty shops and quality restaurants to suit most pockets as well as Dr Johnsons house.

I visited Lichfield Cathedral twice in one day.
While in the area, my mom & I decided to visit and pay our respects to Stephen Sutton, a charity fundraiser who had sadly passed away shortly before. The cathedral is free to enter, though they encourage donations towards the upkeep of the building. We left messages of condolence in the books, and afterwards had a look around the building.
The building really is beautiful - very gothic in style. There is even a kids' area within the cathedral for visiting youngsters! There were lots interesting artifacts and art on display.
We visited again later on in the evening, when Stephen was there for you to walk past and give his signature thumbs-up and pay respects. The cathedral handled the massive turnout very well, handing out water to visitors and offering candles to light and leave on the grounds. It looked gorgeous all lit-up in the dark!
Lichfield Cathedral is a beautiful place to visit, and I would recommend dropping by whether you are religious or not.

I found the spaces awe-inspiring and we were offered a very warm welcome. I enjoyed the art that was displayed and seeing part of the Staffordshire Hoard. There was, however, a lot of chairs stacked around and I felt that spoiled the atmosphere a little.

Lichfield is a lovely little City and the Cathedral is magnificent inside and out. It is friendly at the best of times but has recently excelled when it became home for the very special occassion of local hero and the inspirational Stephen Suttons's 2 day vigil. Lichfield was aglow with yellow. The Cathedral was the heart of the City and the focal point for the love of the local people and followers of 'Stephen's Story' The Coffe shop and gift shops are in the Catherdral close and there are walks around Stowe pool and Minster pool nearby. Lichfield is close to many midland attractions and would be a great base to explore from.

Great architecture and always accessible as it is not a major tourist spot. Well worth a visit (as is the city as a whole).

There was a wooden Cathedral in Lichfield from AD700 and the Christian Faith is embedded into the region. The discovery of the Lichfield Hoard only 500 metres as the crown flies from where I am writing has enhanced the understanding of this area as a hotbed of religious fervour and religious hatred from pagan groups...what's new? I was moved to write something about the Cathedral as it has just received a Trip Advisor award. It is a brilliant focus for the city with a magnificent story to tell. Just Visit and don't forget lichfieldcoachhouse provides excellent accommodation for the visitor.

The building is magnificent both inside and outside. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Take time to walk around and read the history and do take time to sit, think and offer a prayer - it will make you feel a lot better. Then go across the road to the Cathedral Coffee shop - brilliant too.

This is an unusual building with three spires. When we were there a few weeks ago there was a fascinating exhibit of international works of modern calligraphy. The city of Lichfield is well worth a visit.

Грандиозно! Мой любимый собор в Англии. И городок очень милый: маленький, уютный и полон красивых мест. В центре много магпзинов и кафе на разный вкус и кошелек. Как-то отмечали новый год в "три амигос". Зашли спонтанно и остались более чем довольны радушно персонала. Как будто попали в гости в большую итальянскую родню. В-общем, Личфилд - мое любимое место для приятных впечатлений и неспешных созерцательных прогулок.

Peaceful atmosphere, thought provoking. Religion as it should be unimposing.
