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.

It was a privilege to share with graduates this week, in celebrating their hard work and achievements. The University of Cumbria contributes so much to our communities and partnerships. Thank you.
#OTD 14th November 1745, Carlisle surrendered to Prince Charles Edward Stuart and the Jacobite forces.

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).
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
It’s great to be back onsite at the #Carlisle Roman dig again with guided tours available until the 8th November (no tours on the 1st) you can find us at the Cricket ground #hadrianswall

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!
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.
