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.
