Ordnance Survey bolt on St Michael's Church
Ordnance Survey bolt on north face of St Michael's Church. This 19th-century bench mark was established in 1851 during the First primary levelling of England & Wales, and was levelled with a height of 340.9510 feet [103.9219 metres] above mean sea level (Liverpool datum). It was included as a side level on the Sheffield to Birmingham levelling line. The surveyor's description was "No. 217(a). St. Michael's Church, Lichfield. Bolt in North side of tower ; 2.47 ft. above surface." (p.361)

Part of the churchyard of St Michael-on-Greenhill
The churchyard is thought to be one of 5 ancient burial grounds of England, and predated a church on the site. The other four sites were at Glastonbury, Canterbury, Lindisfarne and York. It is also thought that this hill was the earliest settled part of Lichfield.

The Law Monument in St Michael's churchyard
This monument in the north-east corner of the churchyard, is to James Thomas Law, the appropriately named Chancellor of the Diocese of Lichfield (1790-1876), and his wife Henrietta Charlotte (died 1866). It is grade II listed (list entry 1187745) and the listing notes that the roundel at the top originally contained a clock illuminated by gas light 'for people using the main road to Burton and the Trent Valley Railway Station'. The listing also dates it to 1864 (before either of the couple passed away) which seems unlikely.
