In the Middle Temple, Middlesex

Inns of Court

The Inns of Court are four self-contained enclaves at the edges of the City of London in Middlesex, places so distinct that they appear as worlds of their own surrounded by the bustling town. They are the schools and lodgings of barristers. These inns are perhaps the last remaining examples of mediæval inns, but grown so large that one might doubt that any other inn of those days could have compared with any of the Inns of Court.

The Inner Temple and the Middle Temple adjoin each other at the edge of the City and originate in the holdings of the Knights Templar, later taken over by lawyers. They are within the City, but each is autonomous of the City in most respects, and each is recognised by law as a local authority on its own. Lincoln's Inn and Gray's Inn lie respectively west and northwest of the City of London, in Holborn. Lincoln's Inn alone covers 11 acres. (Read more)
