The church of St Mary in the centre of Lichfield, close to the cathedral, dates from 1870 though is possibly the fourth church on the site with the first thought to date back to the mid-12th century. The current church replaced a neoclassical style church (built 1721, demolished 1868), and is in a Victorian Gothic style made from Derbyshire sandstone.
The church when built had an aisled nave, chancel, tower with spire and a chapel on the North side dedicated to the Dyott family. The chapel is where services remain to be held while the rest of the church has been converted for other uses in recent years as congregations have fallen. Lichfield Library now use the building and it is used as well for other community uses such as tourist information.
