The centre of the Christian diocese of the anglo-saxon kingdom of Mercia was relocated to Lichfield from Repton in Derbyshire in 669 by the then-bishop of Mercia, Chad.
The existing gothic-style cathedral of Lichfield was begun at the end of the 12th century AD, and these bosses are believed to date from around this time.
