Carlisle Cathedral
Carlisle Cathedral was visited by 6 photographers in May 2026. We all saw the same things, the east window, the organ pipes, arches and statues. However the breadth and style of images produced is always varied and interesting. Different people see things in different ways, selecting small details or expansive scenes. All the images in this zine have the authors creative input both at the time of taking and in the post processing.
The Cathedral is a historic Anglican cathedral in the city of Carlisle, England. Founded in 1122 as an Augustinian priory, it became a cathedral in 1133 and has served as an important place of worship for nearly 900 years. Although it is one of England’s smaller cathedrals, it is renowned for its magnificent Gothic architecture, beautifully preserved medieval stained glass in the East Window, and intricately carved choir stalls. The cathedral has played a significant role in the religious and cultural history of the EnglishScottish border region and remains an active place of worship as well as a popular visitor attraction.
