Description

Watercolour of the interior of Carlisle Cathedral by William Henry Nutter dated 1837. Interestingly, this view shows the Cathedral after the previous 'barbarous' restoration of 1764 by Bishop Lytteton. His restoration included a new plaster ceiling, box pews and blocking the east tower arch at the west end of the choir which he decorated with gothic designs and coats of arms. These changes to the interior were recorded in Billings engravings of 1839 but this watercolour by Nutter predates these. Nutter produced a companion watercolour to this which is also in the collection CALMG: 1974.60.1-2. In addition there is also an exterior view of the Cathedral.
