In addition there were a number of Inns of Chancery. These probably had the function of training and housing medieval Chancery clerks. Later they became affiliated to the Inns of Court. By the 18th century the Inns of Chancery ceased to have any educational function and had become social clubs for attorneys and solicitors. They have disappeared as institutions but their names are to be found in street names, buildings and on plaques. The Inns of Chancery included: [...] Staple Inn (this has survived physically and is situated behind the façade of 16th century shops in High Holborn; it was originally a wool warehouse - thus the name 'staple' - its crest is a sack of wool)" |
 | England London Stoke Newington Stoke Newington Church Street new St Marys stone church spire steeple lit up in low afternoon sunlight chilly bright afternoon 28Oct2001 1 DHD.jpg (Earth Views) The ``new'' Church of St. Mary's Stoke Newington was built in the 1850s in
response to the rapid growth of the local population. The Rector, the Rev.
Thomas Jackson, offered the site of the old rectory and garden for a new church
to be built opposite the 300 year-old Old Church.
The architect George Gilbert Scott (later knighted) was
appointed to the project, and designed a building in the
style of thirteenth century Gothic. The new St. Mary's
was consecrated by the Lord Bishop of London on June
25, 1858: it stretches 180 feet (55m) from the inside
line of the apse to the west door, and is 80 feet (25m)
wide from north to south transept.
The original plan foresaw a spire soaring 220 feet
(65m), but it was to be 45 years before this was finally
added to the building. Floodlighting was added at
Easter 1996.
