England - Lichfield Cathedral and a bit of everything

The sixth day of my England/West Midlands journey starts off with Birmingham Cathedral - built as a parish church from 1711 and elevated to a cathedral 1905 - I'd skip it. No flying either.

Lichfield Cathedral on the other hand is awesome: The present church was started 1085 and rebuilt in the gothic style from 1195. A gorgeous place you shouldn't miss (flight footage is sketchy because of pretty high winds).

Wall Roman Site is - well - Roman.

White Ladies Priory from the late 12th century lies isolated and sports a couple of nice fly-through doorways. 

Boscobel House is partially in a no-fly zone but well worth a visit. Proudest part of the place is the Royal Oak: (actually a successor of) the oak King Charles II climbed to lose the Parliament troops chasing him - I actually forgot filming or photographing it...

Lilleshall Abbey is another gem dating from the 12th and 13th century built for Augustinian nuns.

Iron Bridge in a rather lovely valley in the tourist infested town of Ironbridge was opened 1781  and is the first major bridge (31 m) made of cast iron.

Nearby is Buildwas Abbey, founded 1135 by Cistercians with its nave stonework intakt.

In the next village lies Wenlock Priory, re-founded in 1080 and later incorporated into the gardens of a manor house. Take a look at the wall tracery of the chapter house.

Langley Chapel is a far smaller and plainer building from the early 17th century, being one of the first to come into state care.

Acton Burnell Castle from the 13th century just screams for fpv but I didn't dare. It was built more for comfort than defense in relatively peaceful times.

Cantlop Bridge is a sight for die-hard English Heritage fans only: a tiny bridge built 1813 to a design by Thomas Telford.

Wroxeter Roman City is one of the best Roman sites I've been to: extensive, good info boards, some parts standing up more than a meter and a re-built villa.

Haughmond Abbey dates from the early 12th century and sports a few nice details.

Last sight (of a total of 15) is Moreton Corbet Castle with roots from around 1100 and major rebuilding in the 16th century. I really wanted to fly fpv there but there's an airfield nearby and I couldn't find the contact data of the tower to get permission.
