This mesmerizing print captures the ethereal beauty of Carlisle Cathedral, nestled in the heart of Cumbria. Bathed in a soft glow emanating from strategically placed floodlights, the majestic east window takes center stage, showcasing its intricate medieval design and breathtaking stained glass panels. The skilled lens of photographer Laing expertly freezes this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship that went into restoring this architectural masterpiece. Taken in July 1983, it serves as a testament to Laing Stonemasonry's dedication and expertise. As darkness descends upon Carlisle Cathedral, an enchanting transformation occurs.

The juxtaposition between past and present is palpable; modern floodlighting technology breathes new life into age-old architecture while honoring its timeless grandeur.
