The Bishop's Lodging House
Image: © Richard Law Taken: 28 Apr 2022
This elderly building is attached to the much more modern Image, and dates possibly from as early as the 13th century, albeit with several changes, alterations and patching over the years. At least one gravestone of 14th century vintage (possibly older) is incorporated into one of the walls, and a datestone of 1746 can be found in the entrance archway. It's included within the Grade II listing https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101194881-lichfield-college-and-lichfield-library-lichfield#.Ys7CsnbMI2w & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1194881 that was awarded to the newer library/college building in the 1950s.
