Carlisle Cathedral

There are information boards giving details of the timeline of Christianity in Carlisle and an archaeology exhibition showing items that have been found during excavations of the cathedral grounds.

If you go to the top floor, you will find a display of dolls that are dressed in the costumes of Kings and Queens of England from Norman times to present day.

Make sure you take a look at the Treasury collection in the basement, which contains priceless pieces of church plate and a beautiful bishop’s robe.

The guides are brilliant and very knowledgeable so they are happy to answer any questions you have and to point out fascinating details that you won’t want to miss.
