Légende

Old buildings in Lincoln's-Inn now being demolished, 1881. 'We give an Illustration of part of the old Buildings of Lincoln's Inn now being rapidly demolished. This may be added to preceding memorials of most of the picturesque buildings of Old London which the ruthless hand of the modern "improver" is so busy in sweeping away. It is a singular fact that in the wall of one of the sets of chambers now being destroyed lie the remains of one of the former occupants. A curious epitaph, partly in Latin and partly in English, marked the spot until recently. The barrister in question died in the seventeenth century; and his virtues, with the dates of his biography, were set out at length in rhyming lines. Our Illustration is from a Sketch by Mr. G. B. Lancaster Woodburne, of Lincoln's Inn'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
