Newcastle Cathedral Reveals Hidden History

Newcastle Cathedral Reveals Hidden History

THE North East Centre for Lifelong Learning (NECLL) is helping to bring the stories behind a city cathedral�s many monuments to life with a season of talks and workshops.

The Cathedral Church of St Nicholas in Newcastle has received a grant of �250,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to help open up the hidden history of the building.

HLF�s investment, alongside �400,000 raised by the cathedral, will help conserve and explain the monuments through a project called Illuminating Stories. The Illuminating Stories will be told through technologies such as QR codes, which allow people to download information about monuments.

Sunderland University�s NECLL will promote the project�s educational activities through their Explore Programme which will run in the cathedral until November 24
