An Ancient Cathedral Full of Life & Wonder There has been a Cathedral in Lichfield for over 1300 years and its story is one bursting with history, art, culture and life. If you're looking for rich heritage, ancient artefacts, and stunning architecture then Lichfield Cathedral has it all. Lichfield Cathedral's story doesn't end with its past, it is very much alive with a vibrant programme of services, events and art projects to capture the imagination of all ages.
About thirty minutes drive from Birmingham there is a large car park nearby. Visiting the Cathedral is free. The guide book is £5 and they offer free tours which I highly recommend. This is one of the best cathedrals I have ever visited with a long history going back to Saxon times. Every corner reveals something new and the history was so interesting especially the civil war siege. Highlights include the Saxon bible and statue of an angel, the Zulu shields and the medieval wall paintings. The tour lasted about 90 minutes and was so interesting. Highly recommended.
Sinai Park House is a Grade II* listed timber-framed building dating from the 1300s situated within a 13th century hilltop moat. The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and is surrounded by a historic deer park. Used for recuperation by the monks of Burton Abbey, the site includes a range of timber-framed buildings, a moat, a Jacobean bridge and a Georgian plunge pool and picnic spot.
