Shopkeeper David offered a very nice historical chat on both Darwin and Johnson utside the shop, to make up for the stairs my wheelchair finds a bit difficult.
Learned a lot and felt very welcome !
Would recommend a visit to the Cathedral and this museum to anyone wanting to learn about (atleast to a Swedish person) hidden historical gems.
/Petter, a wheelchair foreigner (if there is such a thing) enjoying history and experiences to learn from

You can not visit Litchfield and not visit this place! I just really highly recommend visiting Litchfield! It is such a wonderful place! I call it God's little English paradise!

Though Small, this Museum is very comprehensive and covers many aspects of Samuel Johnson life. There are many interesting artefacts,and the well knowledged staff will help with any question...I live in Lichfield and never tire of visiting this Museum..Situated on the Market Square you can really step back in time..

Having seen his place in London it was very interesting to see his original Lichfield home. Not very big but worth the time spent.

This is very interesting place to learn about Samuel Johnson. It could take you 2to 3hours to take it all in.

This lovely little museum is in a quaint and quirky building. It doesn't take long to go round but it is well worth a visit - and it's free to go in - though they are grateful for donations. Very central location.

We really loved this house and saw so many original historical pieces. The staff had excellent knowledge and were so passionate about everything. We gained a real insight into Samuel Johnson and how people lived and thought during this historical period. A lovely hour spent and well recommended.

Went here after Erasmus Darwins house and the kids enjoyed this equally. Much more focused on the literary works of the most famous son of the city and his life there.
Although kids this time searched for cats in the rooms (is the a museum in Lichfiled with dogs to search for?)
Be warned there are a LOT of stairs which are steep and narrow but this hidden gem is worth a trip and an explore and again an oportunity to dress up.
The audio visual was very well present with an old school friend portraying an early Johnson.
The worlds smallest dictionary, many interesting books, loads of listening opportunities and some brilliant paintings too.
Staff were so welcoming and warm and knowledgeable .
Only spent an hour here but will pop in again for a stroll around and again
ITS FREE but please make a donation and gift aid it so it can continue to stay open for years to come.
