Northumbria Region Events Team have arranged a tour of Trinity House, Broad Chare, Newcastle
on Monday 30 March 2026 at 10:30am. Click here for full details.

The construction of Trinity House began in 1505 and has, since that date, housed the
headquarters of a unique maritime organisation, The Corporation of the Newcastle upon Tyne
Trinity House, which has been dedicated to the welfare of seafarers on the North-East coast since the Charter of Incorporation granted by King Henry VIII in 1536.

The buildings include the 1505 private Brethren’s Chapel, the 1800 Entrance Hall, the 1721
Banqueting Hall and Board Room, all built around a secluded courtyard. Paintings, models, a
library and other memorabilia reflect centuries of England’s maritime traditions and heritage, which are maintained here by the Brethren in a unique setting.
