If you go to Lichfield then the Cathedral is a must place to visit. The architecture is amazing and it is very peaceful and tranquil. A few hours visit there is required as there is so much history to take in.

This is well worth a visit (one of the best in Britain) , if there is a service on you may have to wait until noon, but there are places to have lunch nearby. They have part of the Staffordshire "Hoard" on display which are jewelry grade pieces of metal from the the year 700. They are decorative pieces from ceremonial swords, etc. Take a look at the upstairs section, there are some very nice stained glass windows. The Museum is free, but you can make a contribution or buy something in the bookstore.

It is quite simply amazing when you view the Cathedral from the inside for the first time including the ornate architecture and the acoustics during the progression of a service nearer the front of the church. It is also one of the most impressive and visible structures when you first approach Lichfield. It is rich in history with its own museum with pieces dating back to Saxon times. Well worth a visit if you are near the area.

Lichfield has been a regular haunt for my wife and I who continue to enjoy the tranquility and quintessential historical ambience of Staffordshire's premier heritage city. Its diverse architecture, boasts the only mediaeval English Cathedral with three spires. And when you visit, make a point of asking why they appear to lean? Lichfield is just seventeen miles north of Birmingham, and lies at the heart of England. 1300 years ago it stood at the centre of the Kingdom of Mercia. When Chad was made Bishop of Mercia in 669 he moved his See from Repton to Lichfield, which may already have been a holy site since there is a legend that Christians were martyred there under the Roman Emperor Diocletian. When Chad died in 672 pilgrims began to come to his shrine, and in 700, Bishop Hedda built a new church to house his bones. Starting in 1085 and continuing through the twelfth century this Saxon church was replaced by a Norman Cathedral, and then by this architecturally magnificent Gothic Cathedral, circa 1195. Steeped in history, Lichfield is a great place to visit, especially if you are genuinely interested in history and admiring incredible architecture. I confess that nearly a decade ago, my art work was displayed at Lichfield Cathedral's Chapters Restaurant and College Hall, but we now satisfy ourselves with checking out other artists and photographers who exhibit their work around the County, many of whom, were inspired to paint and pen poetry. There are several watering holes and diners within easy reach of the Cathedral. We especially enjoy the occasional afternoon de-caf tea or coffee accompanied by a light dessert. I guess, you may be right in thinking we are slightly biased, but, if you enjoy tranquility , pleasant surroundings and are inspired by amazing architecture, then Lichfield Cathedral will fire your imagination and meet your high expectations. It never ceases to amaze us; and, despite visiting for many years, we always seem to find something new to explore or discuss.

We are confident that Lichfield Cathedral is one of the most interesting religious buildings you will visit in England.
Regards,

Paul R

Any Cathedral is worth a visit but the location of this one makes it different with Lichfield being so small a city. For the cost of a small donation this is excellent value for money.

Very 'user friendly' place to visit with knowledgeable and helpful staff To see and absorb the history of this building and the events surrounding it need at least one full day more so be prepared!
