Taken from original 1842 copy of the book "Cathedral Churches of England and Wales Volume III". Has some spots and other signs of age, as it is nearly 200 years old.
1842 Original Art Engraving Lichfield Cathedral, Floor Plan and Bio TG6
The origin of the see of Lichfield, if we may believe a tradition which prevails there, was the martyrdom of St. Amphibalus, and a thousand of his disciples, on this spot, in the general persecution under the Emperor Dioclesian. This tradition also accounts at the same time for the name of the city, Lichfield; lie, signifying a dead body, and therefore Lichfield, the field of dead bodies. It is, however, now generally agreed, that St. Amphibalus never existed at all, and that the whole legend respecting him and his disciples is the fabrication of an age much posterior to that in which he is said to have suffered martyrdom..
