Tempted to tell everyone I've found an entrance to a secret tunnel but the truth is shaping up to be much more interesting. A lost moated manor turned farm house & a deserted medieval village on the edge of Lichfield, near where Roman pottery and cartloads of bones were found.

Still in North Lichfield, my Lichfield Discovered mates and I have found 19th century references to a field here called 'Graveyard' and another nearby known as 'Chapel Meadow'. On the ground, there's nothing to explain either name but we wonder what lies beneath...

The playing fields and playgrounds of Beacon Park in Lichfield belonged to an 18th century mansion known as Beacon Place. Despite being demolished in the 1960s, traces still remain, including an ice house beneath this grass mound. Cool, eh?

Good day to you from Bore Street, Lichfield

🎃 As we head towards Halloween, we'll be telling some tales from the dark side of the city. We have stories of witchcraft, spectres and monsters to share this Samhain and a few suggestions for protecting yourself from such things, as Lichfeldians have done for centuries.

Someone was walking along Abnalls Lane & heard footsteps of someone approaching him from behind. Naturally, he expected them to pass by. What he didn’t expect was for whoever, or whatever, it was to pass straight through him. Time works differently in these lanes around Lichfield
