Our next Lichfield Discovered History Night!

LICHFIELD IN A TIME OF REVOLUTION & CIVIL WAR

Thursday 2nd October, 2025 at 7pm

Step back into one of the most dramatic chapters of England’s past with Lichfield’s very own Professor Ann Hughes, a preeminent historian of the seventeenth century.

For our next LD History Night, Ann will bring the revolutionary years of the English Civil War to life, exploring why it broke out, what was at stake, and how it shaped both the nation and the lives of ordinary people.

With a special focus on Lichfield’s extraordinary role, the talk will uncover the city’s wartime experiences, including the intense sieges of Lichfield Cathedral, a building that still bears the scars of conflict today.

You’ll hear how politics, religion, and personal loyalties tore communities apart, and how cities like Lichfield stood at the crossroads of national upheaval.

Do join us for what promises to be an extraordinary and fascinating evening, including, as always, some special LD surprises…

Tickets will be going on sale tonight (21/9/25) at around 6pm via our Eventbrite page here
