Visitors to Lichfield can find a covered alley way in-between the houses and bookshop opposite the majestic, three spired Cathedral.

Walking up the alley, they are led to the right, discovering a secluded courtyard of ancient houses, surrounding the herb garden of Erasmus Darwin's House. Through an iron gateway, the visitor then reaches the entrance door to the Doctor's former home. Indoors, an introductory video gives a short biography and audio-guides take the visitor back in time as they journey through the rooms. Touch screen computers, working models, and a silhouette booth are some of the interactives that compliment the historical artefacts on display.
