Book Description
Excerpt from History and Antiquities of the Cathedral Churches of Great Britain, Vol. 3 of 4: Illustrated With a Series of Highly-Finished Engravings, Exhibiting General and Particular Views, Ground Plans, and All the Architectural Features and Ornaments in the Various Styles of Building in Our Ecclesiastical Edifices All the records of the original foundation of Carlisle, and the introduction of Christianity here, have perished in the lapse of ages. It has been a border habitation from time immemorial. In so fine a situation, at the confluence of three rivers, and the grand estuary of the Frith, it was probably a place of some strength and distinction before the Roman invasion; hence it must have had a name long prior to the building of Severus's wall, or the vallum of Hadrian. In the Chronicle it is stated that this city was built by a British prince called Luell, or Lu-all, and as the Romans afterwards made it a place of residence, there can be no doubt that it received a knowledge of the Christian faith about the same period, and in a similar manner to that of other cities occupied by those conquerors. Its situation, however, on the departure of the Romans, rendered it the first victim of the northern marauders; and it had been desolated many years when Egfrid, king of Northumberland, caused it to be rebuilt, and fortified with a wall. It appears, from Simeon Dunelm, that he repaired the church, restored divine worship, and placed in it a college of secular priests. When visited by the famous St. Cuthbert, according to Bede, the citizens carried this prelate to see the walls of their city, and a well of admirable workmanship, built by the Romans.
