Amazing cathedral. We went to sung evensong and loved it. The music is particularly good. The small choir filled the cathedral and the intonation was excellent.

The cathedral wasn’t technically open for visitors but we were invited by a staff member from Lichfield Cathedral School to sit in on the year 10 assembly! Very enjoyable in a beautiful building

If you like wandering around English cathedrals, this one is pretty good. The interior is much as you'd expect. The welcome was friendly, and they didn't charge a fee, merely asked if we'd like to make a donation, which is fair.

My friend and I are avid visitors to the cathedrals of our country. We marvel at the workmanship our ancestors applied to these buildings within our communities.
I would recommend to the reader the book: 'Englands Cathedrals' by Simon Jenkins. He describes this cathedral with intimate knowledge. It was severely damage during the English Civil war of the mid 17th century. However over the centuries since it has risen and offers the visitor a worthwhile experience.
The location and environs are a pleasure to wander. Enjoy!

It has a very impressive front. It was built in 1242 on the remains of the 8th century church of St Chad. Wonderful stone carvings throughout. Some medieval stained glass in two windows. We went in the Chapel of St Chads head, which had been a place of pilgrimage. The head is no longer there. There was Consistory Court in the cathedral, but not available to see. The chapter house held most of the treasures as well as the 8th century St Chads gospels. There was a green man carved to the wall and a cat and mouse carved in stone a little higher. We did this in a day trip from London on the train.

This is a gorgeous cathedral, inside and out. I specifically wanted to see the "Lichfield Angel" - an amazing frieze that was fairly recently uncovered from underneath the floor - and spent a couple of hours just marveling at the architecture. I am sure others can take better photos than I can, but this is so worth the time. There are spires, gargoyles, relics of a saint... more than a millennium of history. The volunteers are very helpful and knowledgeable.
