Chancery

Lincoln's Inn has historically been particularly connected with Chancery practice, I believe; why no mention of this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.214.52.191 (talk) 19:48, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Age of Lincoln's Inn

As a member of Lincoln's Inn, I would say that the tradition among the four Inns of Court (Gray's Inn, Inner Temple, Lincoln's Inn and Middle Temple - listed alphabetically!) is that none of them claims to be the oldest. While the Inner Temple and the Middle Temple are celebrating 400 years since grant of the land upon which they are situatied by James I & VI, neither does so on the basis of a comparison with the age of the other three Inns.

The Lincoln's Inn website is careful to say only that its records go back to 1422 and that this is earlier than any of the other three. Its points out however that the Inn had been existence for some time before that date, leaving open (because nobody knows) the date upon which it is founded. I have therefore deleted the claim to it being the oldest of the four inns of court.Informed Owl (talk) 22:06, 24 November 2007 (UTC)Informed Owl[reply]

Photos

Can somebody please remove the photo of the arms of the Inns' of Court School of Law, which is at the head of this article. The photo looks tacky, on the miserable brick background, and it isn't the arms of the Inn, anyway. If there are no arms, it would still be better to remove this unsightely photograph. (Francis Hoar (2001 Call), member of the Inn)

Architecture

There was the usual confusion about which of the 'Gilbert Scotts' was involved on this site - I have corrected this to 'George' from 'Giles'. 79.72.17.57 (talk) 10:54, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
