Dean of Newcastle
Head of Newcastle Cathedral
Head of Newcastle Cathedral

The Dean of Newcastle is the head (primus inter pares – first among equals) and chair of the chapter of canons, the ruling body of Newcastle Cathedral. The dean and chapter are based at the Cathedral Church of Saint Nicholas, Newcastle upon Tyne. Before 2000 the post was designated as a provost, which since 1931 had been the equivalent of a dean at English cathedrals which had been parish churches. The cathedral is the mother church of the Diocese of Newcastle and seat of the Bishop of Newcastle.
