Lichfield Cathedral
Latest Reviews
Beautiful Cathedral with a fascinating history. The staff were extremely helpful and showed us around. We enjoyed the Turner exhibition and the Angel Hunt. Well worth a visit.

Lichfields crown, the Cathedral is stunning both inside and out. A wonderful opportunity to see the Turner picture before it returns to its new owners. A place to sit and contemplate your world.

Lovely Cathedral well worth a visit if you're in Lichfield. The outside is probably more decorative than the inside but the stained glass windows are stunning. It's free to go in, a donation is asked for. The Turner exhibition is a bit disappointing and £6 for a programme when it's just one painting plus a few sketches of Turners is a complete rip off (My opinion....my husband argued with me).

One of the prettiest cathedrals I have been to. Lovely interior and exterior grounds in a lovely historic city.
The Turner painting was such a bonus to see

We caught some brilliant pokemon here. Lots of stops and a couple of gyms equals a prime hunting spot.

A beautiful building with so much architectural detail to view. Even if you are not religious you can't fail to be impressed.
Try to time your visit to hear the choir, maybe at evensong.

I visited on a Saturday and the Cathedral was preparing for a singing concert taking place in the evening. The Cathedral is extremely impressive and the carvings on the outside are very detailed. We were able to see the Lichfield Angel sculpture and the wall painting. The chapel of St Chad can be accessed by a flight of stairs and it is a lovely space for prayer and reflection. The Cathedral features some stunning stained glass windows.

Have visited many fine cathedrals and this one has nothing not seen before...at least it is still free to visit this one although it is made VERY clear that you can donate in MANY different ways. The most impressive aspect of this cathedral is the front..

A very impressive building, packed with artefacts and always looking for innovative ways to increase appeal. The stone work is sublime and the location commands the skyline from every direction. A draw for artists over the century's and tourists alike

A wonderful day spent in Lichfield, The Cathedral is a splendid building, Architecture going back centuries. Also the museum of Erasmus Darwin, farther of Charles Darwin is not to be missed. The Cathedral tea rooms are also a delight to visit.

Passing through on a cycle ride I stopped at the Cathedral grounds for a quick snack. Sitting on a bench outside the Cathedral I was astonished to hear a most wonderful sound, which I can only presume was Choir practice, coming from a building directly behind my seat. The surprise element of the moment was what moved me and I lingered longer just to enjoy the music.

Stunning 800 year old cathedral.

Free to enter, but donations hoped for. Some splendid stained glass windows, part of a mediaeval wall painting, many tombs, including one of two children, a ninth century angel, some Minton tiles and a soaring roof. Plenty to explore.

An impressive cathedral well worth visiting. There are free tours at selected times and the staff are helpful. A bonus at the moment is the Turner exhibition with the original copy of his painting of the cathedral plus some of his sketches leading up to the work. This is also free!

When on my travels I always make sure I visit the local church, chapel or cathedral in the area; I have an active interest in British History and architecture. So I have visited quite a few.
This was my first visit to Lichfield Cathedral and it will not be my last. What an amazing place; full of history from early Christian roots (St Chad), the Civil war, Victorian architecture, stone sculptures/ figures and much more. For me the most outstanding points were the stone figures both in and outside the cathedral. The link to early Christianity is very interesting and St Chad is buried here.
The examples of stained glass and alabaster are beautiful. There is an interactive information screen which covers the stained glass;it would be great if the Cathedral could invest in these screens for the multitude of stone head figures. But there are information boards scattered about.
It is free to enter; donations are politely requested. I view this type of donations as an investment for future restoration work and visitors. Access is good for wheel chair users. There is parking close by; just get their early. Lichfield is full of many interesting sites and the Cathedral is the highlight. At the moment they are running a free Turner expedition. I suggest at least half a day exploring. The staff are very helpful also.

Absolutely beautiful cathedral. An absolute must to visit if you are in the Midlands area. Very friendly and knowledgeable stewards who will tell you the history. Superb coffee shop in the close. Try to time your visit so that you can hear the choristers!

I was lucky enough to spend a couple of hours at Lichfield Cathedral - what an amazing place!
The architecture and skill of the craftsmen/women that created this building was awe-inspiring.
The serenity of the atmosphere inside was amazing and you can't help but sit quietly and contemplate things.
You don't need to be religious in any way to appreciate this place.

I'm not a religious person at all. However, when I was in Lichfield this weekend, after walking through the lovely town, I came to the beautiful cathedral. Had a walk round inside, lit a candle for my beloved late Nan, made a donation. Really is a stunning building. Got a couple of lovely pictures from the outside as well on what was a nice sunny day.
