Lichfield Cathedral

Lichfield Cathedral is arranged in Lichfield, Staffordshire, England. It is the main medieval English church building with three towers. The Diocese of Lichfield covers all of Staffordshire, quite a bit of Shropshire and part of the Black Country and West Midlands. The 99^th and current Bishop of Lichfield is Michael Ipgrave who was delegated on 10 June 2016. At the point when Chad was made Bishop of Mercia in 669 he moved his vision from Repton to Lichfield, conceivably in light of the fact that this was at that point a sacred site, as the scene of afflictions amid the Roman time frame.

The main basilica to be based on the present site was in 700AD when Bishop Hedda assembled another congregation to house the bones of St Chad which had turned into a consecrated place of worship to numerous travelers when he kicked the bucket in 672. Offa, King of Mercia appeared to detest his very own ministers paying faithfulness to the Archbishop of Canterbury in Kent who, while under Offa's control, was not of his own kingdom of Mercia. Offa subsequently made his very own archbishopric in Lichfield, who directed every one of the diocesans from the Humber to the Thames. This started in 786, with the assent of Pope Adrian.
