Lichfield Annunciation
Medieval fresco depicting the Annunciation,
located above the Chapter House portal, in Lichfield Cathedral, Staffordshire, England.
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 on the site of the destroyed anglo-saxon cathedral. The cathedral is built of red sandstone from quarries on Borrowcop to the north of Lichfield.
