Gaia Lane, Lichfield
This lane still reflects its countryside past. It passes the Cathedral Close and must once have been very quiet. It is now part of the busy life of this small city.

The Palace
The Palace in Cathedral Close, overlooking Lichfield Cathedral. The house was built in 1687, described as Queen Anne-style, though built fifteen years before she came to the throne. The house was home to Barrister, Gilbert Walmsley, friend of Samuel Johnson and David Garrick, and later to poet, Anna Seward. From 1860 it was home to the Bishops of Lichfield, and from 1954 it has been part of Lichfield Cathedral School.

Bishop's Palace, Lichfield
An excellent late C17th house, something which may be attributable to the involvement of one of Christopher Wren's masons, Edward Pierce. The pediment has a carved shield flanked by garlands. For once, the Georgians didn't replace the original casement windows with sashes. Built c1687-88. Grade I listed.
The bishops found alternative accommodation in 1953 and this is now occupied by Lichfield Cathedral School.
