The Court Room

Look to either the floor or the ceiling in this beautiful room and the eye is rewarded: underfoot is a magnificent, densely-woven carpet, the second largest single-loom carpet in the British Isles, depicting the arms of Trinity House. Above, the ceiling reveals a vivid, allegorical scene painted originally by J F Rigaud and first restored in 1850 by the famous pre-Raphaelite artist, William Holman Hunt.

The courtroom, bathed in light from the floor to ceiling windows overlooking Trinity Square, provides a splendid space for pre - lunch or dinner receptions and board meetings.
