It was gutted in 1940 when a German incendiary bomb lodged in the roof of the stairwell, leaving nothing of the original building save the Trinity Square façade. Professor (later Sir) Albert E Richardson undertook the reconstruction of the house by using a number of photographs of the rooms, taken by *Country Life* magazine in 1919, to reconstitute almost exactly the interior in its original form. Trinity House, which is Grade I listed, was refurbished and redecorated in March 1990; the redecoration is, where possible, in keeping with the 1790s period when the house was originally built. **Read more [here](https://www.trinityhouse.co.uk/tours-of-trinity-house)** **MEET DETAILS:** **FROM 10.45am: Doors open for refreshments inside Trinity House (included in your ticket price)** Address: Trinity House, Tower Hill, London EC3N 4DH Look out for host who will be wearing LoMAZ badge. **11a
