St Mary's Cathedral, Newcastle upon Tyne, Catholic cathedral in Newcastle upon Tyne, England
The Gothic Revival cathedral features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, designed by architect Augustus Pugin in the 1840s.
The cathedral gained prominence in 1850 when Pope Pius IX restored the Catholic hierarchy in England, establishing St Mary's as the first cathedral in Newcastle.
The stained glass windows in the Great East Window, Lady Chapel, and Blessed Sacrament Chapel showcase William Wailes' artistry based on Pugin's designs.
The cathedral welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM, and weekends from 8 AM to 5 PM, with organ recitals every Monday.
Local immigrants funded the cathedral construction through halfpenny subscriptions, demonstrating the community's dedication to establishing their religious center.
