Summary:

"The majority of papers at the conference and in this volume focus on the cathedral, aspects of its architectural development, the wonderful east window and its stained glass, the fine medieval woodwork and extraordinary paintings on the backs of the choir stalls and the ceiling of the Prior's Tower. The castle and other important churches and monastic sites in Cumbria are also examined, together with the Bishop's residence at Rose Castle, and an appreciation of the work of that distinguished cleric, Dean Tait. This volume goes a long way towards providing future generations of scholars with a firm baseline for future research in this area."--BOOK JACKET.
