Our first visit to this gem of a cathedral. It is relatively small compared with some other cathedrals but the beautifully carved ceiling and graceful pillars give the feeling of great length. The steward who greeted us was very informtive. There is no entrance fee, no restriction on taking photographs, .
A small display of treasures in the chapter house with good signage also interactive information boards at strategic places. The lady chapel is interesting as the windows are filled with reclaimed flemish mediaeval stained glass. Not my taste but interersting to see how the colours differ from what we normally see.
I had come looking for a memorial tablet to my 3xgt grandfather who was a vicar choral (chorister) here for 52 years. I found it in the south transept. why he moved here from Exeter in early19C remains a mystery but it's no mystery why he never left.

Such a lovely cathedral, not one of the largest but all the better for that. Really peaceful place and a highlight was staying for Evensong sitting in the choirstalls. Really magical, we went back again another evening! Everyone was very friendly.

Absolutely amazing building, I was stunned by the architecture. This is one of the best cathedrals I've visited. Leave plenty of time for your visit as there's so much to see.

Amazing cathedral. We went to sung evensong and loved it. The music is particularly good. The small choir filled the cathedral and the intonation was excellent.

The cathedral wasn’t technically open for visitors but we were invited by a staff member from Lichfield Cathedral School to sit in on the year 10 assembly! Very enjoyable in a beautiful building

If you like wandering around English cathedrals, this one is pretty good. The interior is much as you'd expect. The welcome was friendly, and they didn't charge a fee, merely asked if we'd like to make a donation, which is fair.

My friend and I are avid visitors to the cathedrals of our country. We marvel at the workmanship our ancestors applied to these buildings within our communities.
I would recommend to the reader the book: 'Englands Cathedrals' by Simon Jenkins. He describes this cathedral with intimate knowledge. It was severely damage during the English Civil war of the mid 17th century. However over the centuries since it has risen and offers the visitor a worthwhile experience.
The location and environs are a pleasure to wander. Enjoy!
