Overview

History & significance

Barnard's Inn Hall is a Grade I listed building located in Gresham Street, London, which served as the hall of one of the Inns of Chancery. The structure dates principally from the late sixteenth century, though the site itself has medieval origins traceable to the fourteenth century when it was established as a residence for law students. The hall is notable for its timber-framed construction and represents a surviving example of the institutional architecture associated with legal training in early modern London.
