Cathedral Statement
Our management team has evacuated Lichfield Cathedral today (Tuesday 30 May) following a suspicious incident, and is now working alongside Staffordshire Police as investigations continue.
We are not currently aware of any specific threat to the Cathedral and we are aiming to be open to the public as usual on Wednesday 31 May. We will continue to update our website and social media.
We fully support Staffordshire Police in asking the public to report any concerns they may have to staff at the Cathedral or the police, in view of the current national threat level.
