About This Book

A detailed guide to Lichfield's cathedral combines a concise architectural history with a systematic description of the fabric, surveying exterior elements—spires, west front, doorways, and close—and the interior—nave, aisles, transepts, choir, stalls, reredos, Lady Chapel, chapter-house, and library. It explains stylistic development across Early English and Decorated phases, summarizes archaeological findings and the history of the episcopal see, records monuments, glass, fittings and restorations, and supplies plans and numerous illustrations intended for both visitors and students.
