The Bridge Chamber was formerly the administrative office of the Trust and is still used for meetings and events. Built in 1879, to replace an older building on the same site, under the watchful eye of Kent architect, Martin Bulmer. The building has, quite recently, been refurbished. Alongside the Bridge Chamber is the medieval Bridge Chapel, completed in 1393, which, at that time would have been situated at the end of the medieval Rochester Bridge.
