Lichfield Heritage Centre, Local museum in Market Square, Lichfield, England
Lichfield Heritage Centre is a museum located on the second floor of St Mary's Church that displays the city's story through photographs, documents, and objects. The exhibitions cover different periods and show how the city looked and functioned at various points in time.
The museum was established in 1981 when an existing 19th-century church building was converted into a community centre. This transformation allowed the city's long past to become accessible to the public.
The centre holds a substantial collection of photographs and documents that show how the city evolved and how people lived across different periods. Visitors can trace the role of local commerce and community traditions that shaped daily life in Lichfield.
The site is open daily except for major holidays including Christmas and New Year's Day. Group visits with advance notice allow for a more focused experience of the exhibits.
The church spire offers a high vantage point where visitors can view the city and the surrounding Staffordshire landscape. From this position, people get a sense of how the city sits within its broader region.
