Carlisle Cathedral has been given £400,000 in Government funding to carry out essential repairs.
The city centre building is one of 39 cathedrals across the country to benefit from the £14.5m pot of cash set up to commemorate World War One.
Leaders of the cathedral will be using the money to repair the nave and the nave aisle roof.
The funding was announced this morning by Culture Secretary Karen Bradley, who said: "Cathedrals are powerful symbols of Britain’s shared history and are important not only for their architecture, history and religious learning but also as a place for local communities to come together.
"This fund is helping to ensure that they are in a good state of repair and preserved for future generations."
The funding panel who made the final decisions is chaired by Sir Paul Ruddock and includes senior figures from English Heritage, the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Church of England and the Catholic Church, as well as church architects, architectural historians and grant giving experts.
