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. (Read our constitution, revised October 2018).
Two Summer Visits
We are planning two one-day summer excursions, a coach tour of south-east Northumberland on 17th August, and a tour by car of churches along the North Tyne Valley on 31 August. A mailing has now been sent to members with information including booking details.
We are also organising, jointly with Newcastle Antiquaries, a walk in central Newcastle looking at African Lives in the North East, on Saturday 21 September 2024, 10.30. Bookings are now open; see flyer for details.
