Gray's Inn
Though the founding date of Gray's Inn is unknown (all records before the 1560s burned), by Queen Elizabeth's reign this one of the four Inns of Court was quite popular, and known for its lavish parties.

Gray's Inn
One of the four principal inns of court; on the w. side of Gray's Inn Lane (now Gray's Inn Rd) in grounds that stretched north as far as Theobalds Rd. The tree-lined walks in the grounds, reputedly designed and planted by Francis Bacon when Treasurer, provided a pleasant and fashionable promenade, with a view over Gray's Inn Fields of the countryside to the north as far as Highgate and Hampstead.
