Carlisle Cathedral.
"Although Carlisle Cathedral in its curtailed form
must hold a place inferior to the grand and splendid
ones of York and Lincoln, and yield in proportion
and wealth of detail to Wells, Lichfield, or Salisbury,
it possesses not a few features beautiful in the eye
of the antiquary, and valuable to the architectural
student.
The choir, for instance, is mainly a rich specimen
of fourteenth century architecture, and its eastern
window is perhaps unsurpassed by any existing
structure of equal magnitude, and had the remainder
of the church been carried out on a scale commensurate with this portion, the whole might have taken
a very high place among English Minsters of the
second class."
