This medieval, predominately Romanesque and Gothic, cathedral has been standing on the border with Scotland for almost 900 years. Highlights include the dazzling ceiling of the choir, designed by the celebrated decorative artist Owen Jones; the intricately carved Brougham triptych, which portrays Christ’s passion; the magnificent east window, reaching over 50 feet high, the largest window in the Flowing Decorated Gothic style in England; the regimental chapel; rare Scandinavian runic inscriptions; and the fascinating treasury exhibition.
