| Abstract | A religious guild in honour of the Holy Trinity was founded at Hull in the mid 14th cntury. A century later, in a manner which is not completely understood, it was transformed into a guild of shipmen. In 1457 the guild sought to build an almshouse for mariners with a chapel attached. Thereafter, the 'Guilde Sancte Trinitiatis', or Trinity House as it is generally known, became a closed shop, admitting only those who could demonstrate navigational expertise. Increasingly, the House controlled the movement of shipping in the river Hull, the Humber estuary and parts of the east coast. |
