Staple Inn - Hall, c1885. Part-Tudor building on the south side of High Holborn in the City of London. '"Then is Staple Inn," says Stow, "but whereof so named I am ignorant." A tradition would make this the Inn of the Merchants of the Staple. The Hall - "a fayre hall of brick" - was rebuilt, as we learn from Sir George Buc (quoted in Cunningham's Handbook), about 1630. The doorway, of "Strawberry Hill Gothic," bears the date 1753.' Description by Alfred Marks.
