The House’s beautiful Reception Hall with its elegantly sweeping, twin-curved staircase houses remarkable maritime artefacts that bear testament to the prominent role played by Trinity House in the nation’s maritime history.

This history began in 1514 when a young Henry VIII granted the charitable guild of mariners a Royal Charter to regulate the water traffic on the River Thames, their powers later extended by Elizabeth 1 to include the sea-markers around the English coastline.

In its 200 year history, the building has welcomed royalty, prime ministers and Lords of the Admiralty.

Today, reflecting the on-going patronage of the Crown, the present day Master of the Company is HRH The Princess Royal filling a role held in former centuries by amongst others, the diarist Samuel Pepys, the Duke of Wellington and William Pitt.

Its location, the elegance of the building and the versatility of its rooms make Trinity House an extremely desirable venue for social and corporate events.
