Lichfield Cathedral
Latest Reviews
Visiting for a second time after some years the Cathedral is still a beautiful and almost magical place with great stained glass, a colourful history, and secrets yet to be uncovered. The recent contruction of a stone dais that can be raised and lowered meant a thorough examination of the deeper foundations with the exciting discovery of remains that could actually be those of St Chad. Our splendid guide, Neil, was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He really brought the cathedral into a very special focus for us, especially when he pointed out some of its quirks that we may never have noticed for ourselves.
As well as doing the guided tour it is also worth going there for the daily music at 11.30am, just to sit quietly and absorb the calming atmosphere.

Interesting, friendly , but not pushy staff. Liked the fake beach outside for kids! The £2 guide book isn't much use, very short, and many areas left me wondering what was there as not much explanation/ signage. BUT- it's an awe-inspiring space. Great that it's free entry still, so you can contribute, and buy stuff from the shop as we did. Definitely worth a visit, the whole space around the cathedral is lovely. I've recently visited Norwich and Lincoln cathedrals, I think Litchfield is as beautiful and has some fantastic medieval features ( paintings as well as the architecture and really ancient relics on display) but Lichfield is quieter and a much easier, more picturesque place to visit! Parking in town very easy and cheap. If you are near here you should definitely visit the town and cathedral.

Absolutely beautiful and well worth a visit. Lots of useful information around the cathedral as well as helpful volunteers. Will be returning once St Chad's relic altar has been restored.

We arrived in time to join the tour. The guide is extremely knowledgeable and we learnt so much about the history of St Chad, the architecture and beautiful stained glass windows and three spires.

Having arrived earlier than expected on our way yo the National Arboretum we stopped off at Lichfield and visited the magnificent cathederal . We were met by the welcomer a lady with long dark hair, we had a good wander round ,my wife asked the same lady on our way out, whoever did the guilding of gold on the statues , did they overdo it on the statue of Madonna and child as the child had one brown foot and one gold foot.
