<p><a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/54.970263,-1.610849" rel="noreferrer nofollow"><b>Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, England, UK.</b></a><br />
<br />
St. Nicholas' Cathedral is the oldest of the three in the city. It dates from the 13th century, replacing an earlier 1180 building, but has been restored and augmented a few times since.<br />
<br />
<b>The Hall Memorial</b> located in the St. George's Chapel in the North Transept, depicts merchant and civic leader William Hall, his wife Jane Hall, and their six children. William Hall served as the Sheriff of Newcastle in 1608 and later as the Mayor of Newcastle in 1624. The memorial was commissioned by his son, Alexander Hall. It dates back to the 1630s and stands as one of the three remaining wall monuments from that period inside the cathedral.<br />
<br />
In April 2011, a volunteer accidentally dislodged parts of the artwork, smashing the six smaller figures of the children into fragments. The monument was subsequently repaired, cleaned, and restored to reveal its original centuries-old colours.<br />
