VISIT TO THE MIDDLE TEMPLE

TUESDAY 11 March 2014 at 4.00pm

Middle Temple Lane London EC4Y 9AT

The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple is one of four ancient Inns of the Court,

- Inner Temple, Lincoln’s Inn, and Gray’s Inn, which are independent self-governing

legal colleges. It is called an Inn because the buildings and courtyards around it

provided living quarters for members of the Society. The Middle Temple is governed

by Masters of the Bench known as Benchers and meetings of the Benchers have

always been called Parliament. The meetings were originally held in the old Hall of

the Knights Templars which was demolished in 1639. The new Hall took 10 years to

build and was opened in 1570. The Hall is 100’ long and 40’ wide with the apex of the

roof at 59’  high. The building has a magnificent double hammerbeam roof and

beautifully carved screen, all in oak.

The architect of all of the Inn’s postwar rebuilding was Sir Edward Maufe, the

designer of Guildford Cathedral.

The tour should commence from the entrance to the Hall which is off Middle Temple

Lane at 4.00pm and should end at 6.30pm. Following the tour, the Master invites

members and their guests to join her at a local Wine Bar for light refreshment (not

included in the visit ticket price)

The ticket price will be £18, which includes a donation to the charity 'Court Based

Personal Support'.

For those wishing to continue to the wine bar for a wine and buffet supper, the price

will be an additional £15.00.

This will follow the same format as the previous visit to the Royal Courts of Justice.
