I'm lucky it's a beautiful building and it's only a one mile walk from my house. It is not far from Dr Johnson's birthday place in Lichfield market place, and Erasmus Darwin, Charles' grandfather lived at the end of the Cathedral Close. The Lunar society met in Darwin's house. There's a lot of history in Lichfield. It has been called the city of Philosophers.

Wow.... What a place. Lovely stain glass windows, lots of crypts etc... Great Christmas decorations. Well worth popping in if you are near.
Had my covid-19 injection here today, feeling blessed that I've had my first inoculation, a big thank you to the cathedral and NHS staff who made my visit a pleasant one.
What an impressive architecture to behold of this only medieval English cathedral with three spires. We were allowed inside for a quick tour at just 2 per person. The officials were very friendly and even gave information of when and how to attend a proper service there. You can tell from the outside that this is almost a thousand years old but the inside is as reasonably fresh and preserved as it can gets. The parking nearby is reasonably with just 1 for the whole day if you are visiting on a weekend (the Cathedral does not own the parking). You can have a lovely walk around the carnal nearby too.
This is an amazing Cathedral I got very emotional when I entered the door knowing that King Charles II had been there. I also saw his monument sadly his nose and lips had been chiseled off likely due to anger for the Jabobites. You can see some of the destruction caused by Cromwell with the faces of angels smoothed down to disguise their true features.
