Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a colorful journey through the history of Lincoln's Inn, one of the most important and prestigious of London's Inns of Court. The author takes the reader through the history of the site, from its medieval origins as the home to the Bishops of Chichester, through its time as the residence of Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln in the 13th century, to the present day. Drawing from a variety of sources, including manuscripts, legal papers, and other records, the author paints a vivid picture of life in Lincoln's Inn throughout the centuries. We gain a glimpse into the workings of the legal system, the role of the Inns of Court in legal education, and the personalities of some of the most famous lawyers associated with Lincoln's Inn, including Lord Chancellor Somers, Sir Thomas More, and William Blackstone. The book also explores the architectural and artistic heritage of Lincoln's Inn, from the medieval Old Hall to the neo-Gothic New Hall built in the 19th century. It is a lively and fascinating account of one of London's most historic and beautiful buildings, and will be appreciated by lawyers, legal historians, and anyone interested in the development of English law and society.
