Inscription. When you pass through the gates into the precinct of Carlisle Cathedral, you are entering an ancient cultural site. Archaeological digs have found evidence of previous Roman and Viking occupation.

One of the earliest Christian foundations here was Augustinian Priory. The values and principles set down by St Augustine of Hippo continue to guide the outlook of the Cathedral and the embrace it offers to all who visit.

'To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him, the greatest human achievement.'
- St Augustine
