On our stay at Swinfen Hotel we went into Lichfield and visited the Cathedral which is free entry. Inside was beautiful with lots of history all around but it is the Stain glass windows that make this Cathedral which are stunning .

Lichfield cathedral towers over the city with its triple steeples. If you think the outside architecture is craftsmanship you will be more than impressed with the inside.
The Stained Glass windows are superb and there are plenty of interesting tombs.
The altar is a work of art as is most of the interior and these craftsmen did it by hand, you would be hard pressed to see craftsmen of this caliber today.
Take a close look at the carved figures on the outside and think how long it must have taken to achieve.
The interior is full of beautiful carvings.
Behind the Cathedral is a lovely lake and grounds and behind that the main council car park which charges £1 per hour. For sat nav users this is on Bird Street. and all this just two minutes walk away.
Admission to the Cathedral is free but worth a donation.
Also, just a few minutes walk is the city center with a good range of shops and. But take the time to explore as you will find a few hidden gems around.

A place to go if you are in midlands. Stunning building and stained glass windows! Free but you should make a donation to the charity to keep this place open for tourists!

well worth a visit if you are in Lichfield. On the day we went there was an Art Exhibition A painting had been donated to the Cathedral and once the Exhibition has finished it will be auctioned off with the proceedings going to the Cathedral. Even without the Art it is still worth the tour.

All our medieval cathedrals are magnificent and Lichfield is no exception. Its setting in the classic cathedral close is particularly harmonious and the riot of statues on the west front is breathtaking. Staffordshire's historic industry has sadly blackened its glorious local red sandstone but its interior is very lovely. No visit to the city is complete without a visit.

Sadly we didn't have as long as we had hoped for to take in this splendid Cathedral. The approach itself is amazing, with its three spires! The sand stone facade is very dark but I guess it might be very difficult to clean it.
It is free to enter this place of worship but donations towards its enormous upkeep are appreciated, especially if you gift aid.
The ceiling is hugely vaulted and intricate. Heavenly stain glass windows, tombs of famous people and saints. The floor in front of the alters is so beautiful. We would have loved to spent more time there. It is a pity that the Coffee Shop is down the road a little next to the two toilets. The gardens in the vicinity are well worth a look too.

We visited late afternoon and took the opportunity to attend Evensong, which was beautiful.
We have visited many Cathedrals it is a good way of seeing something of our country, and Lichfield is up there with the best of them plus very unusually there is no entrance charge, they exist on donations.

This building is truly wonderful. From the multitude of figures on the front facade to the historical flags and military memorabilia for local regiments. There are lots of surprises too. The Cathedral also has a shop opposite the front entrance. My visitors were very impressed.
