[From Wikipedia] Lichfield is a Cathedral City established in the Middle Ages. Notable for its three-spired medieval cathedral, Lichfield was the birthplace of Samuel Johnson, the writer of the first authoritative Dictionary of the English Language . The city’s recorded history began when Chad of Mercia arrived to establish his Bishopric in 669 AD and the settlement grew as the ecclesiastical centre of Mercia. In 2009, the Staffordshire Hoard, the largest hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver metalwork, was found 5.9 km (3.7 mi) south-west of Lichfield.

Looking forward to meeting Postcrossing friends old and new!
Tentatively add me to the list please hopefully the whole situation will have calmed down a little more by then and we can experience ‘real life’ once more!
I’d like to come. If all’s well Covid-wise). I shall be staying in Derby (from Oxford) & Lichfield is about 30 mins. by train. I’m quite new to Postcrossing so don’t know what to expect. Wendy
