Carlisle Cathedral, because of heavy losses to its fabric, is the second smallest Cathedral (after Oxford Cathedral), of England's ancient Cathedrals.

Its notable features include some fine figurative stone carving, a set of Mediæval Choir Stalls, and the largest window in The Flowing Decorated Gothic Style in England.

  1. Look at that magnificent blue vaulted ceiling---and the extraordinary "flowered" Great East Window. One could spend the day marveling at just it alone!

    Magnificent, thank you, Zephyrinus!

    1. Thank You, Dante Peregrinus, for your Comment on Carlisle Cathedral.

      Delighted you take delight in this magnificent architectural treasure.

      Of note is the fact that, whilst being the second smallest Cathedral in England, it has the largest “Stained-Glass Window in The Flowing Decorated Gothic Style in England”.
