I love this cathedral. It is the right side of awe inspiring whilst still being welcoming, which is a hard feat to achieve. There is so much to see in all the different areas, from the original uncovered paintings on parts of the walls, the 'Gabriel' from St Chad's tomb to trying to search for the green men everywhere! I think we've found 3 but I'm told that there are lots of them! The hirkenrode window is missing at the moment, in for restoration, but actually it allows you to see that end of the cathedral in a different light, literally! So not necessarily a bad thing. If you are anywhere near Lichfield, or just anywhere in Staffs, go and have a look...

A truly splendid cathedral from inside and out. Opens late, always welcoming. A must see for everyone from near and far.

Although we don't live too far from this small Cathedral City, other than going to the Guildhall for concerts, we had never been to the Cathedral. On arrival we were greeted by a very pleasant lady who gave us a map & told us the best things to look out for. The outside is very impressive & although it looks as if the stone needs cleaning up we were told that it is made from sandstone & wouldn't stand up to sand blasting to clean it. Inside it is very grand but has a peaceful atmosphere and there was much to look at, including a small selection of the "Staffordshire Hoard" which was most interesting. The choir stalls have all been carved and there are many interesting memorials. Unfortunately the ancient Flemish stained glas windows have been removed, temporarialy, for refurbishment & won't be back until 2015 but that makes a very good reason to return.

Beautiful cathedral run by volunteers who were extremely helpful and informative. Getting to see a sample of the Staffordshire hoard and hear about how it was found and why it is thought it was there was very interesting

If you are within 100km from here this is a must see. It's hard to even explain how striking it is with its individually carved statues adorning the exterior and magnificent sections inside.
Additionally,the town surrounding it is really cute.

This was one of the best cathedrals I have visited. The outside is stunning and very unique. Be certain to see the outside of the huge doors. They are an original feature and not to be missed!
The inside is dark and very moody in places, light and airy in others. It is a perfect contrast. It is incredibly beautiful! Be certain to peek in on the Staffordshire Hoard pieces on display!

Lichfield Cathedral is unique in its architecture and in its history. Its not as grand as Yorkminster, or even Westminster for that matter - but as the current host of some of the more interesting items from the Staffordshire Hoard it is well worth the time and effort to look around. It is worth looking at the website as well, because the Cathedral is often host to some excellent concerts and recitals.

Whether you are into achitecture or not, this is a fantastic and wonderous sight, the design and detail leaves you in awe of the skills and craftsmen of the day that cannot help but leave you thinking; Why can we not do this today (we all know its the money but the skills would be very difficult to locate). Lichfield is a beautiful and friendly place to be and many events in and around the Cathedral during the summer months. Well worth a visit.
