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.

Our September excusion brought the year's programme to a triumphant close, with a demonstration that the buildings, and not just the churches, of the North and South Tyne valley may be modest in scale but are varied, full of interesting details and often surprising.
Read more details of our 'steeplechase'; and watch this space for news of the coming year's programme.
Regular lectures are held in the Fine Art Lecture Theatre of Newcastle University; instructions and map of how to find our lectures.
