Newcastle Cathedral - St. Nicholas

Saturday 7th of Febuary 2015,

The Newcastle Cathedral Church of St Nicholas was founded in 1901 and is the seat for the Bishop of Newcastle. The building that currently stands was completed in 1350 ,it is thought that Hadrian's wall may have ran through the court yard but the exact location is unknown. The churches iconic lantern spire was once used by sailors using the River Tyne as a navigator ,due to its towering height.

The Font hung directly in front of the entrance

the church had hundreds of ornate sculptures laid majestically amongst the maverick architecture 



the church was also home to many delicate stained glass windows




many burial stones lay on the floor of the church

rows of pews lined the dominating supporting pillars of the churches interior





the churches elegant lighting due to the vast windows was very good for a couple of cheeky portraits;
and the final picture i took was of the unforgettable exterior
I also made a short video in the church
excuse the quality (or lack of )
