The Diocese of Carlisle was created in 1133 by Henry I out of part of the Diocese of Durham although many people of Celtic descent in the area looked to Glasgow for spiritual leadership. The first bishop was Æthelwold formerly the king’s confessor and now prior of the Augustinian priory at Nostell in Yorkshire. Carlisle was thus the only cathedral in England to be run by Augustinians instead of Benedictines.
