Chad moved the centre of his See to Lichfield from Repton, possibly because this was already a holy site, as the scene of martyrdoms during the Roman period.

The plans for the interior of the Cathedral will include repainting the walls; the installation of new state-of-the-art lighting, audio visual and acoustical systems; new flooring and reconfigured seating. A new baptismal font will be designed and located near the entrance to the nave (assembly seating area). A new Blessed Sacrament chapel will be developed with a view to further expansion in the future.

The Cathedral will have a new seating arrangement that will provide individual seating and will include attached kneelers. We will use a combination of pews and chairs to provide maximum flexibility in our seating. This will allow us to create a wide range of seating options for both parish and diocesan events. It will also provide possibilities for other cultural or civic events for the Winona community.

Before entering the cathedral please remind students that they are coming into a place of worship. This means they should behave respectfully whilst in the cathedral and not eat, drink, use mobile phones or drop litter. They may take photos. We also ask that people keep all their belongings with them at all times. Opportunistic thieves have been known to pilfer from unattended bags; bags also pose security problems.

It is the responsibility of the leader of the group to make any risk assessment required, but provided sensible behaviour is observed the cathedral does not pose any great risk. It is worth remembering that the building is over 900 years old and the stone floor worn in places.

The Cathedral is the cathedra or seat of the Bishop of the Diocese and the mother church of the Diocese of Lichfield. The Bishop will normally preside at Easter and Christmas services. It has services like any parish church, but also has many special services for organisations throughout the Diocese. It is also where great diocesan events are held, such as the annual ordination services.
