The Cathedral Church of St. Nicholas, Newcastle Upon Tyne - 23rd February, 2012
Views both outside and within Newcastle Cathedral, which is the seat of the Bishop of Newcastle and is the mother church of the Diocese of Newcastle, the most northerly diocese of the Anglican Church in England, which reaches from the River Tyne as far north as Berwick-upon-Tweed and as far west as Alston in Cumbria. Newcastle Cathedral is the second tallest religious building in Newcastle and the sixth tallest structure in the city overall.
The cathedral is named after St Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors and boats. It was originally a parish church, built in 1091, but this was destroyed in a fire in 1216. It was rebuilt in 1359 and became a cathedral in 1882 when the Diocese of Newcastle was created by Queen Victoria.
The cathedral is notable for its unusual lantern spire, which was constructed in 1448. For hundreds of years, it was a main navigation point for ships using the River Tyne. At its base the tower measures 36 ft 9 in (11.20 m) by 35 ft (11 m) and it is 196 ft 6 in (59.89 m) from the base to the top of the steeple.
This video features much footage of the ornate cathedral insides, including statues, furniture, stained glass windows, art and sculptures.

Very soon after the building of a castle by Robert, William the Conqueror’s eldest son, in 1080, the first parish church on the site of St Nicholas Cathedral was erected – almost certainly in wood.
The first building was rebuilt in stone towards the end of the 12th century. This was twice damaged by fire in the first half of the 13th century but repaired and extended in the following years. The first reference to ‘St Nicholas’ is in 1194.

Saint Nicolas Cathedral in Newcastle
SEE MY HISTORY GROUP ON FACEBOOK :
This the cathedral in Newcastle upon Tyne - named after St Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors and boats. It was originally a parish church, built in 1091 although it took many years for it to be elevated to a cathedral. In the mid-19th century Newcastle experienced a huge increase in its population, leading to the construction of over 20 new churches in the suburbs. As Newcastle continued to grow, so did its need for a diocese separate from Durham, and so in 1882 the Diocese of Newcastle was formed, with St. Nicholas' as its cathedral. With this, Newcastle was designated a City in the same year.
The cathedral has an unusual lantern spire, which was constructed in 1448. For hundreds of years, it was a main navigation point for ships using the River Tyne.
On each corner of the lantern are gilded statues of Adam, eating the apple, Eve, holding out the apple, Aaron is dressed as a Bishop, and David holds a harp. Following work on the street in the 1860s the tower was found to be cracking and tilting two porches were added to buttress the structure. Since then the tower has settled and the font cover, which is suspended from the tower inside, does not hang in line with the font.
The interior of the church was badly damaged during the Civil War, the first time in 1640 and again four years later in 1644 during a nine-week siege, Parliamentarian troops threatened to bombard the lantern tower, but were deterred when the mayor Sir John Marley put his prisoners in it as human shields.
The tower contains a complete ring of twelve bells, the tenor bell which weighs almost two tons, plus three 15th-century bells, one, St Nicholas, which is rung for daily services. The addition of a second treble bell (named Gabriel) in 1999 has made it possible to ring a lighter peal of ten bells.
Today, the cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Newcastle and is the mother church of the Diocese of Newcastle. Newcastle Cathedral is the second tallest religious building in Newcastle and the sixth tallest structure in the city overall.

There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers.
Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
