Carlisle Cathedral

 

The original Augustinian Priory constitutes the west end of what is now Carlisle Cathedral
The choir capitals each feature a small carving of  a monthly activity - October grape picking in this case.  Evidence that times were warmer "then"?
And this is boot emptying and foot warming in February

Sadly, a large wooden choir screen completely covers six of the twelve capitals, and even the photographically inventive Dom could not think of a way round this.
An Annunciation occupies central stage in the Carlisle Bishop's Crozier

 

 

The east end of the cathedral is presently (August 2007) under scaffolding
