From the Dean

Welcome, in the name of Christ Jesus, to Lichfield Cathedral: one of the oldest places of Christian worship in Britain and the burial place of the Anglo Saxon missionary, St Chad.

The Cathedral is the spiritual centre of the Church of England’s Diocese of Lichfield. The praises of God have been sung on this site, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed in the power of the Holy Spirit, for over 1300 years.

It is a place full of history and beauty, which has been an inspiration to generations of visitors. But it is also a community of people, delighted to practise hospitality to tourists and Christian pilgrims alike.

Lichfield Cathedral has an extraordinary past – but also a glorious future: Lichfield InSpires. Do come and visit us. You are sure of a warm welcome.

The Very Revd Adrian Dorber
Dean of Lichfield
