St. Mary's Heritage Centre, a former church, dates from the 14th century but has architectural features from the 11th to 19th centuries! In these special after-hours tours, you'll find out why St Mary's looks more 'medieval' now than it actually did in the medieval period, and what happened to the mausoleum that architect Robert Trollope designed for himself. Then, head out into the grounds to take in the best view of Newcastle's skyline with iconic architecture like Newcastle Castle, All Saint's Church, and Keelmen's Hospital. Compare what you see today to historic images taken through the timeline of St Mary's storied past. We'll have art supplies at the ready so you can create a keepsake of your evening visit!...
