St. Nicholas has been a Cathedral since 1882, however there has been a church on the site for 900 years. Because of this St. Nick's has become one of the finest repositories of our Heraldic heritage in the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Unfortunately this repository has not gone unscathed. ‘Modernisation’ schemes have taken their toll and a lot of the heraldry that was recorded in the cathedral in the 1820's has been lost. In a companion page to this I have recorded the lost heraldry of the cathedral. There are also pages dealing with the Cathedrals Roof Bosses and the Choir screen. A further page giving an introduction to Heraldic terminology is also available.

If there is anything you wish to discuss about Heraldry in Newcastle please feel free to contact me at:
