The tower of St Nicholas Cathedral next to St Nicholas' Chambers, an 1881 red brick building named for the cathedral about which I can sadly find little more information. This area is known as Amen Corner. The Cathedral Church of St Nicholas is the seat of the Church of England Bishop of Newcastle. Founded in 1091 during the same period as the nearby castle, the Norman church was destroyed by fire in 1216 and the current building was completed in 1350, so is mostly of the Perpendicular style of the 14th century. Its tower is noted for its 15th-century lantern spire. Heavily restored in 1777, the building was raised to cathedral status in 1882, when it became known as the Cathedral Church of St Nicholas.
