Lichfield Cathedral welcomes His Majesty The King

His Majesty The King was greeted by thousands of people during a special visit to Lichfield Cathedral this week.

During his visit, the King heard from various volunteer and community groups.

He learned about the inspiration for The Fenland Black Oak Table from Hamish Low, listened to music from MusicShare and Lichfield Cathedral Choir and saw how Lichfield Cathedral is working closely with the CWF (Cathedral Workshop Fellowship) to train the next generation on vital heritage crafts such as stonemasonry.

The Rt Revd Jan McFarlane, Dean of Lichfield, said: “We were thrilled to welcome His Majesty The King 14 years after The Late Queen Elizabeth II, visited us. 

“We are so proud of our magnificent Cathedral and city and it means a great deal to everyone to be able to show The King all that is happening in our community.”
