To follow through on the Dictionary I looked up Lichfield & found Dr
Samuel Johnson, the Dictionary man.
Quote ..Lichfield
In addition to its red brick cathedral, Samuel Johnson, the dictionary
pioneer was born in Lichfield in 1709 and there is a Samuel Johnson
Birthplace Museum in the city. The cathedral hosts The Lichfield
Gospels an illuminated manuscript dating from 730 which is displayed in
the vault.
