Citylife in Lichfield November 2022
November is always the month of remembrance, when the nation falls silent to remember those who gave so much for their country, including those who fell during the Two World Wars, and our feature writer, Jono, tells the stories of some of the Fallen of Lichfield from World War Two. As always we have our usual mix of competitions, local news stories, What's On events, and we also recommend the best places for you to eat, drink, and buy gifts from, this Christmas. With the longer evenings, and colder days, wrap up warm, pour yourself a glass of mulled wine and enjoy reading our autumnal November magazine!
