Cathedral Church of St. Nicholas in Newcastle-upon-Tyne - Anglican Cathedral, the location of the department of Bishop of Newcastle. It is the second highest church in the city and the sixth-tallest building in the city.

The Cathedral is named in honor of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors and boats. The first wooden cathedral, built on the site in 1091, burned down in 1216, the first mention of the fact that the cathedral is named after St. Nicholas, refers to 1194. By 1359, the cathedral was rebuilt in stone, but it became a cathedral in 1882 in connection with the formation of the Diocese of Newcastle. The cathedral is famous for its open-work tower, reminiscent of a lantern. Throughout the UK a total of three such towers. This steeple was built in 1448 and for many years served as a beacon of a ship sailing on the river Tyne. Tower height - 62 meters.

The interior of the cathedral was badly damaged during the occupation of the Scots in 1640, and in 1644, in the nine-time siege, Scottish troops threatened to bomb the tower of the cathedral. They abandoned the idea when placed in the tower of the Scottish prisoners. On the tower is a belfry with 12 bells, three of them were cast in the XV century, and one, of course, bears the name of St. Nicholas.

The interior of the cathedral is mainly carried out in the early XX century, based on sketches by local artist Ralph Hedley, once in 1882, the Cathedral became the cathedral. Medieval stained glass windows were broken during the Civil War, leaving only a round stained glass window depicting the Madonna and Child. All the other stained glass windows in the cathedral are made in the XVIII century.

In the cathedral there are several memorials, one of them made in the XIII century, depicts an unknown knight, probably - the court of King Edward I. This is one of the oldest objects in the cathedral.

For centuries, the cathedral is famous for its musical and singing traditions.
