The Society was established in the 1970s. It aims to encourage the study and enjoyment of architecture, buildings, their contents and settings by organising lectures and visits. It usually holds its lectures in the Fine Art Lecture Theatre, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, and enjoys a close association with the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape of Newcastle University.

Pre-Christmas Event at Holy Trinity Church, Sunderland
Our pre-Christmas event this year will take place in this wonderful Georgian Church which is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. Following a petition from local merchants and ship owners for a church to call their own, Holy Trinity became the first parish church in Sunderland. Possibly designed by William Etty of York, built, and consecrated in 1719. One of only two early Georgian era churches in the North East. This stunning Grade I listed building remains a celebration of the past, a hub for the community and a resource for future generations.
More details of our pre-Christmas event. Don't forget to return your booking form by Wednesday 26th November.
Regular lectures are held in the Fine Art Lecture Theatre of Newcastle University; instructions and map of how to find our lectures.
