Lichfield Cathedral
Latest Reviews
What a wonderful cathedral in a brilliant little city. You don't have to walk too far to find it and I would make a point of visiting. There are guided tours but we didn't make it for one. You'll find 1300 years of history packed inside, with a medieval wall painting, the Herkenrode stained glass and the Lichfield Angel. It is the only medieval three spired cathedral in the UK. See what I did there? That's where the title comes in! It is free to get in but they like a donation. It is situated in The Close just across from Erasmus Darwin's house, also a must. Also there seems to be more barber's shops than anywhere I've ever been before. Oh, and I must say the navitives are really friendly

This is a charming cathedral and well worth a visit. If possible go on one of the free guided tours. Very interesting and, although a donation would be gratefully received, there's no pressure to make one.

The cathedral is a must if your staying in Lichfield. Also the arboretum is a place every one should visit. You do need time as it’s surprising large . It’s a beautiful and very well kept place. The volunteer that work ther are very helpful and you will be surprised how many memorials there are.

A lovely Cathedral. It was an absolute delight to attend the full ‘Choral Eucharist’ on Sunday. The choir and organist added to the musical enjoyment of the occasion. Everyone attending the service were very friendly and happily engaged with visitors.
There was plenty to see wandering around the Cathedral. Lunch in the Chapter House was an added bonus.

Such a tranquil and peaceful place! Not normally into buildings and architecture but this cathedral is breath taking!!! I was fortunate enough to be in the congregation and the acoustics in there complemented the choir beautifully! X

My first visit to your delightfully,
serene Cathedral!
I am from Oswestry, Shropshire,
and was proudly surprised
to see my Home Town War Poet,
Wilfred Owen, featuring in your
World War 1 tribute exhibition.
I have many, many friends across the world, and whilst visiting your awesome Cathedral,
I videoed some of it , to share to them all!
The compliments I have received back

The cathedral set in a delightful close is unique in that it possesses battlements indeed was once under siege . The church is very contained and beautifully illuminated by a broad church of coloured windows -the work on which is stunning .
It is not only the county cathedral of Staffordshire it also contains many memorabilia of the county's history .
The facade of the church is very impressive with most of the statues still in tact representing religious and royal icons . The red sandstone employed set them off so very well .
Unfortunately the library had recently been relocated but apart from that absence the church looked well used and kept .
I would strongly recommend a visit to anyone in the area .

One of the loveliest cathedrals I've ever seen. The front aspect is a awe inspiring, with all the saints looking down. Magnificent. It was rebuilt after the civil war due to both sides bringing it down with cannon fire. The Victorians did a beautiful job rebuilding. It certainly well worth a visit. Its free admission at the moment, but periodically they have been known to charge, best check on website. I believe the shop and cafe are opposite the cathedral, but there are several good place's to eat very near by

Such a serene place to spend a couple of hours. It has everything to enrich your knowledge of both the Cathedral and the local history of the region. Stunning architecture, stained glass and a very serene place to sit and contemplate life! Donation is a pleasure!

Although Litchfield is less than 20 miles from where we live, didn't realise what a magnificent cathedral it had, well worth a visit.

A wonderful monument steeped in history. Although it is a grand architectural wonder look for the small details and the large medieval stained glass ieastern windows. Try and visit when there is one of the many events on. This is a Cathedral worth visiting.

Fabulous sense of history. Well worth a visit. Great if you catch organ or choir practice. No entry fee (House of God) but contributions towards upkeep. Lovely care opposite.

The architecture is simply stunning. The craftsmanship of the statues and fittings is like something from a whole other world in today's computer driven society.

Set on the edge of the medieval central grid of streets, still containing late medieval/Tudor buildings, this is a fine structure with its unusual three spires. The elaborate west front deserves lengthy inspection, with its statues of kings of England from Saxon times. Inside there is an impressive high-vaulted roof and attractive stained glass windows. There also interesting exhibitions of items such as copies of examples of Saxon jewellery from the Staffordshire hoard.

Such a magnificent building and so well preserved. It has to be viewed to be fully appreciated it has so much to offer.

Another of England great cathedrals (though small in the class) particular impressive is statues that cover the front however the inside is also pretty good to look out for Johnson. Oh also it's free that's good to

It is a nice place to visit for families and very often there are exhibitions or attractions on. Also accross the road is Darwins house worth a visit as well.

I do like this cathedral as it always has something in the form of exhibitions, so one visit isn't all of it there is always something new and often different parts of the building open which were not on previous visits. The architecture of this cathedral is visual impressive as is most, but its frontage,for me, is exceptional and of great historic interest. One annoying feature on both recent occasions is the irrelevant and irritating music being played. I visit for the peace and a little retreat from the world - on the latter occasion it was destroyed by a blaring and dis-tuneful organist.

A truly special cathedral that offers so much detail, the amount of statues on the cathedral is very impressive. A visit is recommended.

Went on a tour of the tower today - very interesting. I believe that these used to run and stopped due to health and safety and are only running again due to it being a heritage weekend. Every tour that was scheduled was fully booked - fascinating experience with lovely views and photo opportunities - hopefully they will run on a more regular basis!

I have seen the light through the wonderful windows that have been restored and replaced in the Cathedral. On entering we were invited to take a guided trip around the building and I must say what a pleasure it was to hear all the history of it from a well informed Guide and and one who made it a pleasure to hear the history.When we last visited the windows had been removed for cleaning so for us it was a pleasure to see there return and now they are double glazed ? There are many quirks to this building so please go and enjoy

i live local to Lichfield so have visited the cathedral many times, it is a magnificent building, in the summer it looks amazing against the blue skies and within walking distance of both the town and the local Pools ie stowe Pool (not swimming pools :-))
In winter when they have the light display on the Cathedral is beautiful.
last year they had the 10000 angels display inside and a fab Christmas tree decorating competition which was luvly.
we wrote in the prayer book with a message for a dear friend and altogether it was a wonderful touch at Christmas/new year.
well worth a visit :-)
