The Cathedral Church of St Nicholas is the Mother Church of the most northerly diocese in England. Dating mainly from the 13th and 14th centuries, it is a magnificent building. Its most distinguishing feature is the Lantern Tower (1448), a prominent landmark for over five hundred years. Despite all the developments in modern building, the tower remains the most daring architectural structure in Newcastle.
