SOLD OUT T is for Trinity House (FRIDAY MORNING)

Please note this event is running on a Friday morning!
And you MUST email the contact (outlined below) at Trinity House as you join here to reserve yourself a spot on their tour - if you just join here on meetup, you’ll not get access!

Did you know that the lighthouses of the country are taken care of by Trinity? But Trinity actually takes care of seafarers more widely. This tour is of their main building in London - a rare entrance. A tour open to the public so if you are keen - please join the event , not only here on meetup, but at the venue to reserve your space (following their instructions below).

Join us at the Grade 1 listed building at Trinity House London for this unique opportunity for a guided tour and refreshments in a building featured in Country Life and gutted by a German bomb - since been rebuilt!

This building was built in the years 1794-96 by Samuel Wyatt, Surveyor to the Corporation and brother of the famous James; Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger laid the foundation stone 12 September 1793, and the first Court inside the new building was on 23 May 1796.
It was gutted in 1940 when a German incendiary bomb lodged in the roof of the stairwell, leaving nothing of the original building save the Trinity Square façade. Professor (later Sir) Albert E Richardson undertook the reconstruction of the house by using a number of photographs of the rooms, taken by Country Life magazine in 1919, to reconstitute almost exactly the interior in its original form.
Trinity House, which is Grade I listed, was refurbished and redecorated in March 1990; the redecoration is, where possible, in keeping with the 1790s period when the house was originally built.
