The Diocese of Newcastle is a Church of England diocese based in Newcastle upon Tyne, covering the historic county of Northumberland (and therefore including the northern part of Tyne and Wear). The area of Alston Moor in Cumbria also forms part of the diocese.
The diocese was created in 1882 from that part of the Diocese of Durham which was north of the River Tyne.
The cathedral is Newcastle Cathedral and the bishop is the Bishop of Newcastle, the Rt Revd Martin Wharton, who is known for his liberal views. By far the largest church in the Diocese is Jesmond Parish Church, where the tradition is conservative Evangelical.
