 Welcome to the History Access Point at St Mary’s, Lichfield
Most people will now know of the facilities we have on offer at Lichfield’s History Access Point (HAP). For those who have yet to discover us, we offer an opportunity to find out about your family history, free of charge, online at Ancestry and Find My Past. If your family has roots in Staffordshire you can track your ancestors through the microfiche copies of baptisms, marriages and burials or browse the Parish Register transcripts. We have copies of the Lichfield Mercury back to the 1800s on microfilm and a range of books where you can research the history of Lichfield.
Visitors can now enjoy refreshments at the newly opened café situated upstairs adjacent to the HAP. The café is a non-profit social enterprise facility for the benefit of the local community. So why not come along and visit the café and at the same time explore all that we have on offer at the HAP.
