Fine gauged entrance
doorway of 5, King's
Bench Walk, London,
1678.
The original chambers were destroyed in the fire of 1666 and the tenants were
eventually allowed to build again after certificates were 'read' by Peter Mills,
Richard Kirby, and Sir Christopher Wren on 27th April 1670.
Rider emphasises:
…the newly constructed chambers in King's Bench Walk had to be rebuilt in
1678 after another fire in 1677.
Hooke also records this fire (Robinson and Adams, 1968, 316):
Friday, September 28th 1677, - fire at the temple, rose at 3, went to it. It con-
sumed all the Kings bench building….
