Lincoln's Inn Hall, Chapel, and Chancery Court

One of the four Inns of Court, Lincoln's Inn is situated to the south of Holborn and on the west side of Chancery Lane, on the spot of the bishop of Chichester's house, as also part of Black Friar's. Henry Lacey, Earl of Lincoln, obtained the site about 1226 and he demolished the building then standing and built a stately mansion for his city residence into which it is said that sometime before his death in 1310 he introduced the study of law.
