St Mary's was built by the architect, Pugin, who was a convert to Catholicism and produced his designs after a brief visit to Newcastle. It opened in 1844. The domineering 222 foot high spire was however designed by Hamson. A tour of this interesting church should take approximately 45 minutes. The best view of the exterior is said to be from the vehicle exit at the Central railway station (opposite). Of special note are the three large east facing windows with their fine decorative tracery. There is a pleasant tea room serving snacks and non-alcoholic beverages.
