I found this a very interesting place. I knew very little about Samuel Johnson and it was interesting to learn more about his life. The short film was particularly good. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I recommend a visit to the Samuel Johnson Birthplace to anyone visiting Lichfield.Visited on

Stand back and view the house from the Market Square and imagine a busy Lichfield running around the city centre location. The house gives you some image of the man and his times as well as his genius.

In Lichfield for the day? Do spend an hour here. It's right in the centre and free with lots of interesting things to look at. Staff helpful and welcoming. Children can dress up. Oh and there are second hand books for sale too. Be aware that it is over 5 floors with steep stairs. Lots of good cafes nearby.Visited on

Walking into Samuel Johnson’s home, all I knew about him was that he wrote the first most comprehensive dictionary. Thanks to Leila, the guide welcoming us at the door, I learned so much about him that I might just be in competition with Leila on who is his biggest fangirl!
Leila’s knowledge, sheer enthusiasm and utter patience with all my questions was my entryway to learning about this phenomenal man. We could do with more men (and women!) like him today.
Leila wasn’t the only knowledgeable one about him, upstairs on the first floor awaiting us was Lizzie. Equally conversant on Samuel Johnson and his era. The two make for quite the most welcoming and enlightening duo.
It’s a beautifully preserved house, which thanks to this team but also those whose love for Samuel Johnson even earlier, ensured that it wasn’t destroyed by fire in WWII - there’s romance embedded in these walls.
I left his home, wanting to know more about him and the people he supported.
If you love words / history (and / or Susie Dent!), this is a hidden gem of a place to visit. Be warned though, if you didn’t already, you will come to adore Samuel Johnson (maybe become an even a bigger fangirl than me!) by the time you leave!
