A Brief Tour of Trinity House
Other RoomsOff the two main function rooms are ante-rooms which are useful for smaller meetings, exhibitions, additional reception areas or temporary office space.The Pepys Room, named after the famous diarist and naval administrator, himself one of the distinguished line of Masters of Trinity house, is entered through a door in the north wall of the Library. The Luncheon Room, next to the Court Room, contains full length portraits of former masters, a Georgian fireplace and the only mirror surviving from the original House. All the others were destroyed in a road accident while they were being transported to safe storage in 1939. Click here for a 360° view of the Luncheon Room. Finally, the intimate Reading Room can serve as another ante-room for the Library. It is full of surprises: a portrait of Winston Churchill and Franklin D Roosevelt at the signing of the Atlantic Charter; a Victoria Cross and other military medals; and a 4th century Roman urn found on the site of Trinity House at the corner of Pepys Street and Savage Gardens. |
