but by long leisure and diligent search". (St. Thomas More)

Lincoln's Inn

Thomas More began his legal training at New Inn but after two years, at the age of eighteen, he entered Lincoln's Inn where his father, John More, was a senior member.  The above drawing by Thomas Shepherd depicts the Hall (now the Old Hall), the Chapel, and the Chancery Court of Lincoln's Inn as it was in about 1830.
