Wonderful presentation as always Kev from one Lichfeldian to another brDue to my family being well known Lichfield stonemasons for many generations I have several books on Staffordshire churches and cathdrals, their work documented in most of these books and in many local historical documents but as usual you have provided me with facts and insider information I would never have known, and I thank you for thatbrKeep up the wonderful work

Comment from : Matty81

Best tour guide and teacher on Youtube!!! Thank you Mr Hicks, you're THE BEST and your work is incredible
Comment from : Hillery McDonald

It's so beautiful and has so many uses😮 I'm an Aussie and we've never had a civil war so our churches are just churches some in the big cities are really beautiful too but they just don't have the same history or pure grandeur because of the history and skill that was put in to create these amazingly complicated things for love of a higher power (I like churches and the like and castlesp )

Hi Kevin, I am a retired Staffs P C I wish I had known you were in Lichfield I only worked there for a month when the Soldiers were murdered on the Station by the IRA Best regards Mark
Comment from : markg8sar

Are there chambers for offices, library and maybe living quarters in the cathedral itself? Seems like it could accommodate a variety of activities on the upper floors?
Comment from : SonOfTheOne

Comment from : carlosnolost ASMR

Loved this, I live very close to Lichfield and have been in and walked around this Cathedral many times Next Time I am there I will have a renewed knowledge Keep up the great work <3
Comment from : Scott Atkinson

I always look for things regarding Lichfield as im a direct decendant of Robert John Litchfield ,as my 15 x great grandfather His grandson was Margeret Beauforts 3rd husband ,and who was the mother of Henry 7th I wonder if they had walked the floors of the Catherdral ?

Comment from : CFO

Stunning & very interesting visit, thank you - must have been something to work on such a place, if only for a little while Like me when I went on a Roman dig for a few days - just enough to give one a bit of insight into Times past Thank you

Comment from : Believe - John 3:16

I like this guy! Very informative and engaging! My family were Royalists and were evicted to the Netherlands They migrated to the Colonies in 1646 Being from East Anglia I was surprised they were King Charles men as they were Saxon/Viking descent
Comment from : Freiherr Dinkelacker

In the the seventies there was a house and with a garage just full of books in LichfieldI bought the book on the Cavaliers and Roundheadsi do think that a Cathedrals job was to make the normal population feel small and insignificant and to keep them in check and to get money out of the pilgrimsPrince Rupert of the Rhine did the terror attack on Birmingham
Comment from : peter day

The history squad is what I wish the history channel was
Comment from : D1ckdickley

Love it Awesome job! Take care
Comment from : Bruno De Marques

a lot of medieval cathedral still have the cranes that built them in the top of the spires
Comment from : chris

that is so cool! however I am curious about the spires Like, being a whole building, theoretically dedicated to Jesus Christ and the religion of Christianity… why would historians automatically assume the spires are representative of human archbishops? Would not a plausibility be that, the three spires are representative of the Holy Trinity? Like the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit? Or… the crosses? With the taller spire being representative of Christ on the Cross? I mean I have not tried to research further yet… but it just seemed interesting that our narrator and host who worked there only related the one theory about the ancient archbishop Anyways also, I am certainly not saying he is wrong! He of course will know much better Just that it seems to me, that, a “Christian” structure, with three tall spires, pointing to heaven, and the whole thing about sets of three in the Bible and Christianity and the Holy Trinity… and stuff like that…

Comment from : Carolyn Watson

When I toured Britain, 35 years ago, after touring France and Germany the previous year, I never failed to be impressed by the shear comparative beauty of British cathedrals, so original and so different from the continental ones Your video is a reminder of that beauty It is also a reminder that war and fanaticism are destroyers of beauty Thank you Kevin!
Comment from : Luc Drouin

Don't forget to pick up a chunk of flint while you're in England; I still haven't found the big nodule I had for you
Comment from : Cholula Hot Sauce

This was iconic!! But I bet that there is so much more to discover and learn from this place It truly saddens me that so much history gets destroyed and lost over mans power struggles We can only hope for a better future Thank you so very much for sharing all of this You tell the history with so much love and respect!🙏💖🪶💯💯👏👏

I love these tours! You guys keep making them il keep watching them! br The kid in me always wants to see some of our old Castles repaired and restored like other countries do Ah well perhaps one day il win the lotto and give it a go XD
Comment from : grimjim666

More of these and especially the castle videos! Love em All the best 🥳
Comment from : colin

In a way, the cathedral with all its saintly heads looking down on you sternly, serves much the same purpose as a castle, to intimidate you, dominate you and make you feel small; to remind you that you have no say in anything and you must devote your life to higher powers, for you are being watched and controlled
Comment from : yoinkhaha

Lived in Lichfield my whole life strange to see it on YouTube but was really surprised we’re from the same place 😂
Comment from : MrFridgeToast

It must've been extremely difficult to resize the windows to fit a new space, even so it looks wonderful I ask this question because I am a glass artist myselfbrAnd I know something about how difficult it must've been
