Gothic Revival goliath
Located at The Hill, here in Newcastle, dominating the skyline and visible from many locations in our city....Christ Church Cathedral is a Gothic Revival goliath.
I particularly enjoy attending organ recitals here.
Also known as The Cathedral Church of Christ the King, it is an Anglican place of holy worship and has been an important place for pilgrims and visitors for over 190 years.
I learned that it is 72.5m in length, 26.5m in width and 36.5m high. It contains 160 windows, 72 of which are filled with beautiful stained glass.
The grounds have been the site of at least one other church: Christ Church, built in 1817–18.
It was exactly 100 years from the beginning of construction to consecration and the principal architect was John Horbury Hunt. His plans were drawn up around 1868.
