History
Foundation
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 a Fr Joseph Marshall.
In the 1820s, the 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.
Construction
Building work started in 1891 and in 1893 the church was opened. The site of the church, Warwick Square was owned by the Duke of Devonshire. At the time, the cost of the building the church came to £12,000. The church 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.[3]
Parish
In 2014, the church, together with Our Lady and St Wilfrid's Church, Warwick Bridge and St Ninian's Chapel in Brampton merged to become Our Lady of Eden Parish.[1]
The church has two Masses on Sunday: 10:00am and 4:30pm. Our Lady and St Wilfrid's Church has two Sunday Masses: Saturday at 6:00pm and 9:00am on Sunday morning.[4]
