Newcastle Cathedral.
"The church of St Nicholas at Newcastle was
appointed under the Additional Bishoprics Act of
1878 as the cathedral church of the new diocese.
As a parish church, St Nicholas took rank as the
fourth largest in the kingdom, being exceeded only
in area by St Michael's, Coventry, St Nicholas', Great
Yarmouth, and St Botolph's, Boston ; and if deficient
in that dignity which the lofty clerestory and the
central tower confer on Bath, Nottingham, and
Sherborne, was eminently fitted to receive the
cathedra of a bishop from its great spaciousness and
the length of its eastern limb."
