The Lichfield Brocade was designed by F.W. Plaistow in the late 1940s. It uniquely combines  two classic heraldic and devotional symbols: the English Rose and the French Fleur-de-Lys. The  result is a visually rich and symbolically layered fabric, ideal for those seeking a brocade with  both national and Marian resonance.  

Lichfield’s clear repeat and strong central motif make it suitable for vestments and hangings  where a bold, identifiable pattern is desired. It performs beautifully in both large and small  pieces, working well with frontal cuts, chasubles, and stoles alike.  

This brocade is available in a range of liturgical colors including Ivory, Blue, Red, Green, and  Violet. Whether used alone or combined with coordinating trims, Lichfield adds traditional grace  and clarity to any ecclesiastical textile project.
