Description:

Lincoln's Inn was founded in or before 1422. Its magnificent lawns and trees make up six separate gardens, comprising the North Lawn, Benchers' Lawn, New Square, Gatehouse Court, Kitchen Garden and Stone Buildings. Each garden has been almost completely replanted over the last five years.

The only British Prime Minister to be assassinated, Spencer Percival (1762–1812), lived at Nos. 59–60 Lincoln’s Inn Fields. He was one of 16 Prime Ministers to be a member of Lincoln's Inn.

A modern fountain, designed by William Pye, was constructed on the New Square lawn in 2004.
