[The Church of England Newspaper] March 3, 2006--The discovery of the ancient shrine of St Chad, buried for over 1,300 years under Lichfield Cathedral, has been hailed as “of European significance” by leading archaeologists. The find includes the “Lichfield Angel”, three fragments of an Anglo-Saxon sculptured panel, which formed part of the shrine believed to house the bones of St Chad, the first Bishop of Lichfield.
