A spellbinding monument with a turbulent history, Lichfield Cathedral has architecture from all phases of the English Gothic, but was hit hard by a siege in the English Civil War in the 17th century. This has been a Christian site since the 700s when a church was built to house the bones of St Chad (d. 672). Today’s building was begun at the end of...
Samuel Johnson, one of the English language’s greatest men of letters, was born at the house on the corner of Breadmarket Street and Market Street in 1709. At that time this four-storey Palladian building was just two years old, having been ordered by Johnson’s father, Michael. Samuel spent most of the first 27 years of his life here, and in 1901 t...
Grandfather of Charles Darwin, Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802) was an 18th-century doctor, intellectual and abolitionist, and a central figure of the Midlands Enlightenment that helped give birth to the Industrial Revolution. His fine townhouse on Beacon Street, just off the Cathedral Close, has become a writer’s house museum dedicated to his life. Darw...
The neo-Gothic Church on Lichfield’s Market Square dates from 1870 but is the third church to stand on this spot since the 12th century. It’s a head-turning monument, built from Derbyshire sandstone, but come the middle of the 20th century the congregation had dwindled as residents left Lichfield’s city centre for the suburbs. In the 1970s, to save...
Looping around the cathedral and its green is the Cathedral Close, traced by grand old houses. Most of the facades are from the 18th and 19th century, but generally these conceal much older buildings going back to Medieval times. Nearly all the properties are owned by the cathedral and were previously set within a walled enclosure defended to the s...
At the village of Wall, moments south of Lichfield there was an important Roman fort and staging post on Watling Street, a 276-mile Roman Road weaving across England from the Kentish ports to Wroxeter, via London. Later, long-distance civilian travellers would stop here for accommodation, to change horses and bathe. The ground floors of Letocetum’s...
On land that used to be under the Minster Pool, the Victorian Beacon Park is 70 acres of exquisite formal gardens and parkland in the middle of the city. On a summer’s day you could make a cheap family excursion to Beacon Park, boating on the tree-fringed lake, playing crazy golf and sipping a cup of tea on the cafe’s terrace. The children’s play a...
The exact age of this stunning Medieval building on Bore Street is unknown, but it is thought to have been completed sometime in the late 14th century when the incorporation of Lichfield’s Guild was confirmed by Richard II. The Guildhall is mostly an events venue, but if you can get inside, take in the hammerbeam roof and rich oak panelling. Attach...
One of two large man-made bodies of water in the city, Stowe Pool has an extremely pretty perspective of the cathedral from its north and east shores. The pool first took shape in the 1000s when a brook was dammed close to St Chad’s Church to power a mill. It soon became a fishery, belonging to the Bishop of Lichfield. Even now the pool is stocked ...
Intersecting with the Cathedral Close, the pedestrianised Dam Street has two fronts of Georgian townhouses, interspersed with low, half-timbered cottages. Keep your eyes peeled here for a plaque commemorating the 2nd Baron Brooke, killed at this spot in 1643 by sniper fire during an assault on the cathedral in the Civil War. In Medieval times a str...
