Book excerpt: This authoritative history of Rose Castle spans 800 years of its history and its evolution, first as a defensive building and latterly as a fine residence. Drawing on original sources, the author depicts the dawn of the Carlisle diocese and its bishops, and particularly by the skilful use of early illustrations shows how the castle has developed under its successive occupants. He draws on an extensive knowledge of Rose Castle and the diocese of Carlisle acquired through his work as domestic chaplain at Rose Castle, and as residentiary canon and canon librarian of Carlisle Cathedral. His published works include Carlisle Cathedral History published in 2000 and entries in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, both in print and on-line. The volume will be of interest to ecclesiastical, architectural and regional historians, and to all those fascinated by the history of the North West of England and the influence of Carlisle diocese on the region.
