Cardinal Hume Monument

A bronze sculpture by Nigel Boonham (2002).
Cardinal George Basil Hume (1923–1999) was born in Newcastle. He was the Ninth Archbishop of Westminster and a Benedictine monk. Queen Elizabeth II opened the 3m high bronze and new public space at St Mary’s Cathedral in 2002. The sculpture stands on a flat stone plinth in the shape of the Northumbrian island of Lindesfarne, where St. Cuthbert held his hermitage in the middle ages. A view from the back of the statue is shown in NZ2463 : Cardinal Basil Hume looking down Neville Street towards Newcastle Central Station
