Field hospital-style facilities and waiting areas were set up along its medieval nave in just two days. The dean of Lichfield, the Very Rev Adrian Dorber, said people were “buzzing” to be able to help.

He added: “We are delighted to be able to offer the place as a nice, airy, socially distanced space in which this can take place. I hope it’s a symbol of how all the communities can come together to facilitate the rollout of this amazing vaccine.”

He added: “We’ve got some really well-drilled volunteers and a really capable staff, who have just kind of gone into ‘battle action’.”

Daily worship has moved online and the building is expected to be closed for services for around two months.

Local Conservative MP Michael Fabricant also tweeted: “They came in the Middle Ages for the cure. They still come today.”
