Lincoln's Inn

(By George Bdinger, in the Fort- nightly Lew Journal)

(Lincoln's Inn. one of London's four Inns of Court, embodies In brick and stone the history of Eng- lish law from the fourteenth cen- tury until the present day. It he! suffered damage from bombing In two wars but is yet a t lcsl cer- i-ier of the London scene.

Up tlll the 1040 air raids, London

ssessed in their entirety the anc- ent buildings of her four Inns of Court. They were not the most i-m- pressive of the City's monuments, but they were certainly the most intimate and perhaps the most characteristic and charming.

'1'he story of the four Inns goes back into the Civic lifs of four- teenth century London, and the manner of their working is es- sentially unchanged slnce then. These self-governing Societies of Barrtsters-at-Iais’ (advocates) do not only observe their ancient con- stitution and customs, but they are still partly housed In buildings grouped round gardens that date mainly from the seventeenth cen- tury and are in some cases a hun- dred years older. Any kigllstiman (for the Scots have their own legal system) who wants to pract- ise at the Bar must, after passing his examinations and complying with other customs, be approved by the Governing body (Bench) of one of the four Inns and be admitted to the roll of its membership. He is then free to use its gardens 1nd its library, attends at least in theory) the services of its chapel and, while the Courts are sitting, is entitled to lunch or dine in its hall.

. ..

All this obtains in theory, and till 1940 It existed also in practice. But the late world war has cut away a great deal of that lelsurecl spac- ious life. Of four halls, only two are left standing (both prized among the showpieces of English Gothic and Early Renaissance architecture). Three of the four libraries, with nearly a quarter of a million manuscripts and hooks. have been destroyed. The social life that used to revolve round the four Inns has possibly ended only for the moment. But the buildings that Bacon. Raleigh. Shakespeare or Oliver Cromwell would have recognized six years ago have van- lshed. Vanished. that is, save in one case.

place that is at once peculiar to and

characteristic of, the London scene. The Inn stands on the western confines of the square mile of central Londcn known as the City, Its total area ls not large. perhaps eight acres (3.2 hectares) in all. But within that space there are three gardens. two squares sur- rounded by sl-xteenth century and one by seventeenth century houses, Another square dates from the eighteenth century at its best. and a fifth from the nineteenth century at its worst. There is a hall that goes back to 1500, a chapel ut up in 1620, another hall with a ilbrury erected in 1845, and three gateways dating respectively from 1518, i690 and 184.5. In its way the place ts a museum of British city architect- ure. But lt ts a living museum. be- cause the lawyers (though most of

them have ceased to live in the Inn) still carry m their business there as they have done for six

centuries.

All the four Inns of Court carry the names of those who possessed them before the coming of the lawyers in the fourteenth century. The Middle of the Inner Temple were once the commimderiies of the knights Templars. Gray's Inn was the town house of the Earls of Lincoln occupied tlll 1308.

The Inner Temple still retains the circular Church of the knights, and Gray's Inn can show the arch- way to the Earls’ dining hall. Hut there is nothing left of the Lin- colns in Lincoln's Inn save their arms now appropriated by the Soc- lety of Lincoln's Inn and emblazon- ed cvver the gateways.

. . e

Lincoln's Inn contains some of the most ancient buildings In any of the Inns of Court, or Indeed in the whole of London, The eastern archway, flanked by rectangular towers of red brick, opens on a court of houses that all go hack to the first half of the sixteenth century. On the archway itself Shakespeare's friend and contem- porary. Ben Jonson. once worked as a bricklayer. The house Immedi- ately on the left of the gateway was the office of Oliver CromwelPs secretary, John Thurloe, during the English Republican period. from 1646 till 1649. To the right stands the chapel. built in the Gothic style ln 1630 by the English archi- tect Inlgo Jones. It was enlarged, restored and largely spoilt in 1862. But there are still some pleasing things about it
