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 |
