Travels through History : Leicester and Lichfield

Discover Leicester, Lichfield, Lincoln, and Loughborough in this book

Leicester made headlines for the extraordinary discovery of King Richard III’s remains, unearthed beneath a car park exactly where archaeologists predicted—a triumph of history and research.

Lichfield celebrates Dr. Samuel Johnson, the creator of the first English dictionary. His birthplace is now a museum, and the city’s stunning three-spired cathedral, heavily damaged in the First English Civil War, remains a Gothic marvel.
