Middle Temple

That copy-now in the library of the Middle Temple, one of the Inns of Court in London—had previously been owned by his friend and Shakespeare’s, Ben Jonson.

In a pre-recorded lecture at Middle Temple, Sir John - who led the UK from 1990 to 1997 - urged Parliament to resist measures in the bill which he said threatened essential liberties and could place ministers above the law.

After graduating from Oxford in 1986, Sir Keir became a barrister at Middle Temple and soon began focusing on human rights law.

That said, the first recorded performance of Twelfth Night was on 2 February, the end of the season of Epiphany, in Middle Temple Hall in London - by which time last year's tree should be long gone.

Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” was first performed in Middle Temple Hall in 1602; he also set a pivotal scene of “Henry VI, Part I” here in the Temple garden, where the great lords of England declare allegiance to rival royal heirs by dramatically picking a white rose for York or a red one for Lancaster, kicking off the Wars of the Roses.
