Carlisle Cathedral The Great East Window

late 1930s

View from the 14th-century choir looking towards the east window – one of the finest examples of Flowing Decorated tracery, the most complex of English Gothic styles. It is the largest and most complex such window in England and still contains much of its original medieval glass. Above, the choir is roofed by a fine wooden barrel vault dating from the 14th century. Portrait view.
