Newcastle Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
The Cathedral Church of St Nicholas stands 194 feet tall with a lantern spire that extends above the Newcastle cityscape near the River Tyne.
The current Gothic structure replaced the original Norman church destroyed by fire in 1216, receiving its completion and consecration in January 1350.
The cathedral maintains a musical tradition through its choir performances, regular organ recitals, and a complete set of fourteen bells in its tower.
The cathedral welcomes visitors from Monday through Friday between 8 AM and 6 PM, and on weekends from 8 AM until 5 PM without admission fees.
A marble monument within the cathedral commemorates Admiral Lord Collingwood, who commanded British forces at the Battle of Trafalgar after Nelson's death.

Newcastle upon Tyne and its neighbor Gateshead form a lively urban area in the northeast of England, where industrial history meets contemporary creation. The city retains traces of its medieval past with Castle Keep, a 12th-century fortress, while Grey's Monument reflects 19th-century political reforms. The Victoria Tunnel showcases the period when Newcastle was a major coal industry hub. For culture enthusiasts, the Great North Museum houses archaeological and natural history collections, the Theatre Royal has offered various performances since 1837, and BALTIC provides a space for contemporary art in an old grain mill. The two banks of the Tyne River offer contrasting experiences. In Newcastle, St James' Park has hosted local football matches for over a century, and Fenwick department store continues a 140-year-old shopping tradition. across the river in Gateshead, the Sage Gateshead offers musical programming in a modern building from 2004, and the Angel of the North, a large steel sculpture visible from the highway, has become a recognizable landmark of the region. This destination combines industrial heritage, Georgian architecture, and recent cultural projects.
