Magnificent place.

Stunning cathedral

we are visiting many cathedrals and this one did not disappoint.
The tour guide was excellent and spent ages telling us details of the buildings which we would otherwise have never have known.
A super place as it exudes history

When we visited they had a moon landing exhibit on. There was a little elevated platform for you to see the moon floor covering, although it was no different to standing on the ground.

They had a hidden heights tour on which we missed by 5 minutes which is a shame as it would have been great to see the Cathedral heights, but we did manage to watch some of their choir practising.

Impressed with all the features, and end of service was on - so nice sounds of the organist playing

Excellent light show in a marvellous building.

Lovely place to visit

A beautiful building showing the history of the original area set up as it stood to what it is today.

An outing only an hour or so away by car from home in Cheshire has reminded me just how much this country has to offer the traveller.

I have been to Lichfield only once years ago but never to the cathedral. Its famous three spires - one of only two in England with three spires- are often referred to as the "Ladies of the Vale."

The Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Truro in Cornwall was built between 1880 and 1910 to a Gothic Revival design with three spires.

In many ways, this great medieval structure in Staffordshire seems understated when compared with the likes of Canterbury and York but its beauty is without question.

The surprisingly sooty exterior is an inheritance from the industrial Black Country not so many miles apart, but its interior is as glorious and imposing as any cathedral despite extensive damage during the English Civil War.

A regular visitor from the area told me how in that 17th-century bloody conflict the folk of Lichfield managed to save its medieval wall paintings by hiding them beneath a coating of protective limewash. Now they are considered to be among the finest examples anywhere in the country although only three have survived.

Lichfield is dedicated to St Chad and St Mary and has been a place of worship for 1,300 years.

For those in need of sustenance, almost opposite the front entrance - which is actually at the side of the cathedral - is the Chapters, the Cafe in The Close, whose patronage by visitors must go some way to offsetting the £5,000 a day to maintain and keep the cathedral open.

If the weather is fine its 13th century walled garden is an idyllic place to eat. There is no entrance fee to Lichfield Cathedral but even a modest or otherwise voluntary donation is a small price for a very worthwhile visit...

There are fairly steep steps into the cathedral but for the less nimble a very friendly greeter, as jovial as a medieval Friar, pointed our way to the disabled access at the monumental front entrance. An area is also available for the disabled in vehicles with blue badges

👌 OK beautiful building

A wonderful cathedral with something for everyone.
There are memorials to Johnson, Garrick, and Erasmus Darwin, and the collection of standards from the Staffordshire regiments and monuments to their fallen is very impressive.
Of course over seven hundred years the collection of ecclesiastical furnishings is most impressive from a beautiful altarpiece, through the remnants of a mediaeval wall painting, to what must be one hundred statues on the west face of the Cathedral.
