In 1337 the premises were divided into the Inner Temple, where the lawyers resided, and Middle Temple, which was also occupied by lawyers by 1346. [7] Lincoln's Inn, the largest, is able to trace its official records to 1422. [8] The records of Gray's Inn begin in 1569, but teaching is thought to have begun there in the late-fourteenth century.

The first lawyers to occupy the premises which later became the Middle Temple came from St George's Inn, [24] arriving by 1346. [25] The inn was later deserted in favour of New Inn. [26] Strand Inn, also called Chester Inn, [21] was the shortest lived of the Inns of Chancery.
King's Bench Walk is located in the Inner Temple, [1] one of the four Inns of Court.The other three Inns of Court are Middle Temple, [2] Lincoln's Inn [3] and Gray's Inn. [4] The area borrows its name from the Order of the Poor Knights of the Temple of Solomon, more commonly known as the Knights Templar which is a historical western Christian military order that was established in 1118 AD.
This embarrassed the inn, who at that time only exempted benchers from the requirement to dance. [15] It is said that the revels at the Middle Temple were regarded as impressive during the reign of Charles I (1625–1649), though in 1638, Robert Brerewood remarked that the quality of dancing during the revels was worse than previously.
The records of Lincoln's Inn show that the Inn spent just over £1086 on the masque, charging its members fees ranging from £1 10 shillings to £4 to pay the bill. The records of the Middle Temple are not as complete in their details, though its share of the total bill was likely equal, and its charges were probably very similar.
