Lichfield Cathedral

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Lichfield's three towers, the "Ladies of the Vale", preside over a beautiful, though much restored, exterior. The cathedral suffered badly during the Civil War, being alternately beseiged and used to house soldiers and horses. It has also suffered from being built of sandstone, which is wonderful material for carving the statues which festoon its west front, but not so good at preserving the final effects of the mason's art. The statues that you can see today are Victorian replacements for earlier work. The nave is late 13th century. Of special note is the chapter house, built to a strange elongated octagonal design, and the Lady chapel, which is out of alignment to the main church.
