It's what's inside that counts!
It is business as usual at Lichfield Cathedral - despite a new appearance this week. Following the launch of Lichfield Inspires by Royal Patron, His Royal Highness, the Duke of Gloucester on 30th April of this year, contractors move-in this week to commence work on this ‘once-in-a-century’ project.
Scaffolding, hoardings, work compounds and a viewing platform will start to be erected from Wednesday 28th May, which will of course mean a drastic alteration to the building's external appearance. Despite this, visitors can expect very little disruption during a visit to the Cathedral and should not be deterred from exploring this national treasure during the summer months.
