The complexity, quality, and style of execution of several gauged entrance
frontispieces to the doorways of the chambers in King's Bench Walk (1678), for-
merly attributed to Sir Christopher Wren (Lloyd, 1925, 277-9), suggests that they
may also be the work of Edward Helder and his team of bricklayers (Fig. 77).
Correspondence with Dr C. M. Rider, archivist for The Honourable Society
of the Inner Temple (Rider, 1998), reveals:
…archives do not contain any original drawings of the doorways and there is little
detailed information about their construction.
