Background
History
In 1798, a Roman Catholic chapel was founded in Carlisle by the Fairburn Family on the West Walls. In 1800, a Catholic mission started, supported by the local community. The priest was Joseph Marshall. In the 1820s, with the Catholic population of the city increasing, plans were drawn up to build a church. From 1824 to 1825, one was built on Chapel Street. By the 1870s, this too became too small for the growing congregation, so in 1879, a larger church was planned.
Architecture
The foundation stone was laid on 18 May 1891 and the church was opened in 1893. The site of the church, Warwick Square, was owned by the Duke of Devonshire. At the time, the cost of building the church came to £12,000. It was designed by Dunn, Hansom and Dunn. Archibald Matthias Dunn, his son Archibald Manuel Dunn and Edward Joseph Hansom also designed Our Lady and the English Martyrs Church in Cambridge.
