On our trip down south last year we had always planned to stop at Lichfield to view the Cathedral. It’s an impressive building, the only mediæval Cathedral in the UK with three spires:-

The West Front (above) is adorned with statues of kings, queens and saints:-

South spire:-

The east spire was shrouded in scaffolding when we were there:-

Mediæval tomb to south side (possibly of a bishop?)-

The Cathedral was badly damaged during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms (once called the English Civil War.) After the Restoration of the Crown King Charles II was instrumental in having repairs done. His statue stands in this corner:-

There were also renovations carried out in Victorian times.
