Carlisle Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Carlisle, England.

The Cathedral of the Holy and Undivided Trinity features stone carvings, medieval choir stalls and England's largest decorated Gothic style window.

Founded as an Augustinian priory in the early 12th century, the structure became a cathedral in 1133 and underwent partial demolition during 1536.

The cathedral maintains a strong musical tradition with regular performances by choirs and organists throughout its medieval choir stalls and nave.

Visitors can access the cathedral daily, explore the gift shop near the entrance, and enjoy meals at the cafe located in the medieval cloister.

The stone ceiling of the east end displays intricate paintings of stars, making it the largest surviving medieval painted ceiling in England.
