Description

Lichfield Cathedral

"Although the 18th century was a golden age for the City of Lichfield, it was a period of decay for the Cathedral. Most of the statues on the west front were removed and the stonework covered with Roman cement. The ornate west front was extensively renovated in the Victorian era by Sir George Gilbert Scott. It includes a remarkable number of ornate carved figures of kings, queens and saints, working with original materials where possible and creating fine new imitations and additions when the originals were not available".
