Featured Events in Sunderland Bay in May 2025 (August Updated)

The Brigstones were long thought to be the remains of a bridge or dam at the Shipwright's Inn. The question is - was it a Roman crossing point or dam? Ian's research has unearthed the site of a bridge, a road to it, coffer dams, wharf, a bypass canal and numerous artefacts. The subject has become the basis of a television documentary involving Gary Bankhead, the underwater archaeologist. So come along and see for yourself – has the mystery of the Brigstones been solved… or are there still secrets to be uncovered? Schedule: 2pm: Arrive and grab a seat, coffee/tea and scones with jam will be available at the counter (or to pre-book). There will be other small treats to purchase available on the day too. 2:30pm: Lecture begins. Registration and Cost: - You can preorder your a cup of coffee/tea and scone with jam with your ticket or buy on the day. Alternatively attendance to these lectures is free but we encourage you to make a donation if you're able. Location: Holy Trinity Sunderland is conveniently located close to the Donnison School and Sunderland Maritime Heritage Museum for avid history fans to make the most of their visit. The venue offers ample parking facilities, wheelchair accessibility, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We look forward to welcoming you to the Chronicles and Crumbs at Holy Trinity Sunderland.

Each investigation is approached with sincerity, allowing the unknown to unfold naturally, however, as much as we try we can’t guarantee that members of the spirit world will make their presence known, but we can at least guarantee you will experience a fun and interesting night.
