Newcastle Cathedral holds the story of the City in its stones and monuments. Located in the heart of Old Newcastle, it is a medieval church building of architectural interest with a spectacular lantern tower and filled with a superb collection of monuments, ledger stones and stained glass describing interesting people and events of importance to the history of the city and the region. The collection contains work by nationally and internationally reputed sculptors and craftspeople, including glass artist Leonard Evetts, 19th century woodcarver Ralph Hedley, and sculptor EH Bailey who was also responsible for Grey's Monument, and illustrates many of the ways in which contemporary local, regional and national culture has been shaped. Look out for mermaids, wild men, Roman senators, romantic ladies or even a precious medieval stained glass portrait of Mary and the infant Christ. Open: Sun 7:30am-5:30pm; Mon-Fri 7am-6:30pm; Sat & Bank Holidays 8am-4pm. Free entry; suggested donation £5pp.
St Nicholas Cathedral is a very impressive building on the inside, which is not really reflected by its exterior. We attended the Bobby Robson Foundation concert and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was different to what either of us had been to before and the acts made it a great experience. If you like old church buildings then St Nicholas is a great one to visit and if you haven't been to one before then it is an ideal place to start as it is very welcoming. I've been to a number of cathedrals, including Durham and York and have always felt that St Nicholas is more intimate.

Standing there, almost across Newcastle's main train station, ever since the 13th century it is a center of town attraction not just for Christians but for visitors of all faiths. It is of special interest to Greek and other Eastern Orthodox visitors as the St Anthony the Great Greek Community of Newcastle holds a-one-hour long mass every 2nd,3rd and 4th Sunday of each month.After the Liturgy participants are invited for coffee and sweets (some prepared by Greek families living and working in the city). The Church is currently undergoing some needed renovation-refurbishing that is programmed to be completed by coming September.

This gem is tucked away in a suburb of a small couny durham seaside resort..It would not be out of place in any of our great cities.A successfull local shipping magnat john Priestman decided to give his local area a veritable arts and crafts cathedral.The main architect was E.SPrior and a veritable whos who of leading arts and crafts figures were involved in its decoration including Ernest Gimson,eric gill even the carpet was commissioned from the william morris company.The highlight aisthe mural ceiling in the chancel by Gills brotherMacDonald.The church looks modern with a strong hint in my mind of charles Rennie Macintoshs church at Queens Cross Glasgow. Go see it
