The Cathedral is of Norman foundation. Carlisle originally consisted of two parishes - St. Cuthbert and St. Mary. The church of the latter was originally the nave of the cathedral, but a separate church was built in 1870. The parish was joined with that of St. Paul's in 1932, and St. Mary's church was demolished in 1954. The site is now a garden on the left when entering the cathedral from the city centre. In this old postcard view (Bulman Collection), the nave - St. Mary - can be seen, and just visible at the extreme right, behind the tree, is the spire of St. Mary's church.

In this old postcard (courtesy of the Alan Bulman Collection) the marvellous east window of the cathedral is shown. Although un-dated, it must come from the pre-WWII period, as the railings were removed for the war effort. Also from Alan, this postcard (franked in 1906) shows the east window from inside the cathedral.
