A Tea House with a history built in 1510. Lichfield House is a grade 2* listed building and a very successful restaurant run by the same family since 1936.
Lichfield House, the picturesque black and white half timbered residence built when Henry VIII, and Catherine of Aragon ruled England, now the Tudor of Lichfield, has watched over 500 years of England’s history.
The house itself has been added to from time to time, but the main building is the original.
Between 1643 - 1646 our Tea House was first a prison for captured Royalists who fell into the enemy’s hands during sortees from the Cathedral, and then the tables were turned, and the Roundheads in their turn found themselves chained in the cellars, and again in the last siege Royalists were imprisoned.
In more recent years Lichfield House has been a private residence, the offices of a coal merchant and a milliner’s shop. It was requisitioned for the Pay Corps in 1910 and in 1920 it became an antique shop. In 1936 Wilfred and Evelyn and their son Jeffrey opened the old buildings as The Tudor Café now better know as the Tudor of Lichfield.
