St Nicholas is the Cathedral for the Church of England Diocese of Newcastle, which stretches from the River Tyne to the River Tweed. Christian prayer and worship are offered here daily, just as they have been on the site for over 900 years. The Cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Newcastle and as the “mother church” of the Diocese, it exists to support the Bishop’s mission, teaching and pastoral ministry across the diocese. The majestic building is the focus for great Diocesan celebrations and civic services, as well as a place of quiet serenity set amid the busyness of a vibrant city. Founded in 1091, the Norman church that occupied the site was destroyed by fire in 1216 before the current building was completed in 1350. Its tower is noted for its ornate 15th-century lantern spire. Heavily restored in 1777, the building was raised to cathedral status in 1882, when it became known as the Cathedral Church of St Nicholas. Whether you live or work in Newcastle, or are visiting from further afield, a trip to St Nicholas Cathedral will leave you feeling soothed and inspired.
