Description

Lichfield Through Time explores the rich history of this Staffordshire city. From its early days as a Roman and Celtic settlement to its development as a county in 1553, Lichfield's story is one of gradual growth and transformation. The city's most significant landmarks, including St Chad's Cathedral, have played a central role in its history. The cathedral's construction was influenced by the bishopric of Mercia, which brought St Chad to Lichfield in the seventh century. Later centuries saw Lichfield become a hub for intellectuals, with notable figures such as Erasmus Darwin and David Garrick contributing to the city's cultural landscape. This book offers a unique glimpse into the lives of those who have shaped Lichfield over time, alongside comparisons between old and new views of the city.
