About

Lichfield Cathedral, located in Lichfield, United Kingdom, is a magnificent example of Gothic architecture and one of the oldest places of Christian worship in the country. It is unique among English cathedrals for having three spires, often referred to as the "Ladies of the Vale." The cathedral's origins date back to 669 AD, when it was first established as a place of worship. It was later reconstructed in its current Gothic style during the 13th and 14th centuries. The interior boasts stunning stained glass windows, intricate stone carvings, and a rich history that includes the burial site of St. Chad, the first Bishop of Lichfield.
