Church of St Chad, Lichfield, Gothic parish church in Lichfield, England
The Church of St Chad features Norman windows in the south aisle and a 14th-century tower constructed to house the bells.
The church structure dates from the 12th century, built on the site of a monastery near the spring where St Chad lived as a hermit.
Irish pilgrim Symon Semeonis documented the church in 1323, noting the structure's decorative elements and religious importance to the community.
The building underwent substantial reconstruction in 1840, including the demolition and rebuilding of the north aisle in Victorian Gothic design.
St Chad's Well in the churchyard marks the location where St Chad performed baptisms, becoming a pilgrimage destination by the 16th century.
