East Window (1359) - @CarlisleCath

The wonderful Curvilinear East Window of Carlisle Cathedral remains one of the largest and most complex examples of Flowing Decorated Gothic tracery in England. Its origins can be traced to the lengthy rebuilding works of the fourteenth century that followed a fire which took place in 1292 – lengthy because of frequent raids on the city by the Scots and because of recurrent outbreaks of the Black Death that killed at least a third of Carlisle’s population.

Congratulations Zoe and Stephen. A story that must be told. Nowell Oxland joined the Border Regiment but died at Gallipoli and didn’t live to see his work published. Chasing the Phantom is available from @BookendsCarl (and other good Cumbrian independent bookshops).

[Zoe Gilbert @lakesandbooks]

Our book Chasing the Phantom is published today. It's been a labour of love to bring the work of this forgotten #Cumbrian writer to the world. #remembrance @CooperStAuthor

Brilliant to see so many people enjoying the new market square #Carlisle at the official reopening. Mr Wilson’s Second Liners getting toes tapping and people dancing!

[Colin Glover @ColinGlover2]

Brings back lots of happy memories. My Mum’s favourite coach trip from Carlisle in the 1960s was the Eight Lakes Tour and her favourite fell walk was Catbells, in the background.
